I have no problem with Hollyweird remaking it. It just needs to be repeatedly pointed out (disclaimers coming out of each commercial break) that the story is fictional; that the original novel was a plagiarized piece of fantasy and was not a true historical novel.
Do we need any more proof that there are no new ideas in Hollyweird?
It is estimated that Arab slavers kidnapped over one million Europeans and took them back to Africa or the Middle East. I'm waiting for that movie to be made. Should I hold my breath?
