Why? He destroyed King Kong. The joke about Ahab's female love interest that someone else posted in here somewhere would likely come true if the film were ever remade today in this politically correct world. Starbuck would also likely be cast as a woman too. Hell, that's been done somewhere else already anyhow! Ishmael would probably be portrayed as gay or something.
shareThey already tried a re-make with Patrick Stewart in a cable version. It blew so badly, it made one realize it can't be done.
shareNot stupid at all. I usually despise remakes but Moby Dick? It deserves as many remakes as anyone wants. Even high school and grade school plays should produce this classic. You've nothing to be embarrassed by. Good thinking!

Daniel Day Lewis is a good choice. Peter Jackson as director? Absolutely, unequivocally, NO. His version of King Kong was a bloated mess with absolutely stupid scenes like King Kong sliding around on a frozen pond. I hope he comes nowhere near Moby Dick in his lifetime.
shareYour header after "subject" says it all! No more need be said!
shareWhat do you mean "needs"? Why? What's wrong with the original?
