Nooooo, I can't see the last part because it has been blocked in my country! And only the last part. Damn ... I hope they will at least release the DVD here.
Nothing they make in the future and certainly nothing they made in the past will ever compare to this version. It is true to the book and has the best cast. Period.
@musketeer39 oh i disagree. when i first read Treasure Island some time ago, I looked up the movie adaptations and by far, out of the ones I've seen, this is the most faithful of them all. Combine that with actors such as Bale, Heston and Pete Postlewhaite (I can't spell that guys name, by thunder) it is actually a gem among movie adaptations. One of the best ever made.
Sorry to harp on the theme, but is a remake likely to use one-tenth of the wonderful lines referenced by all the people who adore this movie? You have to have a scriptwriter with an ear for dialogue and actors that can deliver the sense that every line is completely spontaneous and authentic. How many other movies are there - other than maybe "Casablanca" or "The Maltese Falcon" - where viewers just hug themselves at every line because it simply cannot be bettered? You can't buy love with SFX.
I agree with slightlygrouchy. Perfection cannot be improved upon. This has the most amazing cast, the best script (and the most true to the book), the most beautiful Hispaniola, the most authentic action scenes for the period, and the most spot-on direction. All a remake is likely to do is insert a lot of over-the-top violence and anachronisms,add an unnecessary subplot or two, and mistake bigger for better. I can think of a thousand ways to ruin it, but not one to make it better.
@michaelforthriller - How do you know it's going to be the best? Your claim is merely industry hype. What's wrong with this version, anyway? There is almost universal agreement that it is perfect. I can't see how it can be improved upon. The cast is fantastic, the acting amazing, the script is marvellous, and the direction flawless.
@LtRacjack12 i agree with you on everything . an overload of cgi and 3d could kill a movie. That's the bad thing about movies today. I just wish it turns out good.
one thing I never understood, was if Flint put Ben Gunn ashore, how did Ben know what Flints last words were?

This isn't a very good adaption at all, but I still like soooo much since Heston and Bale star in it.

@michaelforthriller I hope so too, I am just very jaded after seeing what they did to one of my childhood favorites, Clash of the Titans.
