The 1935 Best Picture Academy Award winning film Mutiny on the Bounty will hit Blu-ray on November 16, 2010. The film stars Clark Gable as a mutineer on a ship bound voyage against tyrannical Captain Bligh (Charles Laughton). The movie received eight total Academy Award nominations, including three for Best Actor.
The movie is based on a true story, originally told in the Charles Nordhoff/James Norman Hall novel Mutiny on the Bounty. Marlon Brando starred in a 1962 remake in the Clark Gable role. In 1984, Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins starred in the lead roles in another remake of the story.
Extras on the Blu-ray include a vintage featurette “Pitcairn Island Today,” an Academy Awards Newsreel and trailers for both the 1935 and 1962 versions.

Um…was this an article or a commercial? You could of at least linked to something funny or pointed out that Mutiny on the Bounty was a remake before remakes were cool. Maybe you can fantasy cast the remake. You know…uh, Gordon Levitt as Fletcher Christian, Gary Oldman as Captain Bligh…perhaps play a little film executive. Hell, you could justify a remake here in the talk back based strictly on the public's current love affair with Pirates. Maybe punch up the script. Does it have to be based on Earth's oceans? Why not in outer space? Perhaps Fletcher's best friend could be something that's a cross between a Na'vi and a Wookie (Nookie? Wook'vi? Na'kie Woo'vi? – that last one was pretty awesome). So yea…Mutiny on the Bounty by way of Firefly. With vampires. Tween vampires. Tween SPACE vampires. And they all settle on Naboo and intermarry with the Gungans.
Anyways, this was a weak article. Not up to CHUD standards which is saying a lot because of all the typos. I don't really care about a few typos but I can't forgive an article that doesn't seem to want to entertain. At least rip into me for thinking that Speed Racer is a better film than The Dark Knight.
