Swash In Space

The Aussie directing brother duo of Peter and Peter Spierig are doing a remake of the classic 1935 swashbuckler classic "Captain Blood" says Variety.

Errol Flynn starred in the original as a wrongly imprisoned British doctor named Peter Blood who escapes with a French pirate (Basil Rathbone) and clashes with the buccaneer who kidnapped his woman (Olivia De Havilland).

The new film switches the location to space though we are told the update will keep quite close to the origina storyline

John Brownlow writes the script.
