Books based off of old folklore and superstitions then being translated into books only to move onto radio shows and then onto film...
You present one idea in so many ways that even the most simple concept could be turned into more than one great movie. Look at how many great films can be made with the simple idea of the vampire, the zombie, or even just gangsters. Not only have there been many great films made but I suspect there will be more than a few good ones in the future using one of those simple ideas. What we really need is originality in presentation and skill in shaping something we all know into something that seems fresh. Maybe original thought hasn't existed for thousands of years... maybe every thought going through the heads of each and every person on the planet has already been thought. In fact, I'm sure if I dug deep enough I could probably find a paragraph similar to this one on another forum.
As for Bug... I can get my wife to go see Pirates with me but Bug was out of the question after she saw the commercial. Not only that but I'd probably see Pirates 3 first myself, I had already been entertained by the other two movies to no end and I couldn't see one thing that could prevent the third film from doing the same. Also, I like pirates... from Captain Hook to Sid Meier's to those of the space variety.
