It is the most remade movie and piece of work that I know of, and it was a great challenge to again reinvent it ... Thanks to Eddie Izzard, we found a way and we modernized it. And Eddie's contribution is incredible as John Silver because this is a relationship movie. It's a coming-of-age movie. It's as important today as it was important 130 years ago.
The interesting thing about John Silver is he has a mixed heart. He will blow different weathers. He's kind of with Jim, and he supports Jim, and he says he will be as good a buccaneer as anyone. And there's no real proof of that in the story ... But, Silver's heart is not there. He is a greedy man, or a man who has worked hard to steal a lot money, and he feels he deserves his $500 million, or at least his share of the $500 million. In the end with Long John Silver you do think, 'I think I'd be OK having a beer with this guy. I think I like him. I'm not sure, don't really trust, but I think I like him.
He is seven hundred and fifty years old, so everyone is a little too youngMore quotes »
