Warner's Answer to PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN?? CAPTAIN BLOOD...In Space...Really!!

Merrick here...
Michael and Peter Spieri, directors of the promising looking DAYBREAKERS (trailer HERE), are next looking to revisit CAPTAIN BLOOD...with a tweak or two.
Warner Bros. has set Michael and Peter Spierig to direct and John Brownlow to write a new version of “Captain Blood,” the 1935 swashbuckler pirate classic that starred Errol Flynn as a wrongly imprisoned British doctor who escapes to become a pirate in the Caribbean. [EDIT] They will set “Captain Blood” in space.
...says Variety HERE. The article goes on to indicate The Powers That Be intend to stay fairly close to the original film's storyline, despite this change in setting. I remember TREASURE PLANET. Do you?
