is an idea which occured to me listening to his commentary track on the Ninth Gate.

He was noting the style of the book: El Club Dumas from which he derived this Film and his description plainly overlapped with that of the book on which The Saragossa Manuscript was based and so the film. I found myself thinking that he must have at least considered the similarity on that level and wondered whether he ever thought about doing it..

I tried thinking of casting and got Eli Wallach for the Sheik/Hermit and Adrian Brody for Pacheko but concluded it is a far more enjoyable movie as it is and a modern r emake would most likley be a silly, lauaghable farce..

It'd be neat to be proved wrong though..

Bradd Pitt as Alfonso van Worden ?
