Long John Silver Getting "Hipper," More Pedophilic
February 16, 2010 Comments
Treasure Island is going to be so cool and sort of creepy, everyone!
According to Variety, Ecosse Films is developing a new adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic Treasure Island, and this time the pirate Long John Silver "will be hipper" and the film will be "playing up the relationship between Long John Silver and narrator Jim Hawkins." Because current incarnations always leave viewers wanting more "hipness" and for the relationship between boy and pirate to be weirder. Sounds perfect. If there's a movie we needed, it's a hip, swashbuckling Law & Order: SVU.
