Sherlock Holmes producer Lionel Wigram has started work on a Treasure Island remake for Warner Bros. The Treasure Island project is based on the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel. Paul Greengrass was apparently being courted as director for the film, but has reportedly turned it down.

While there have been almost a dozen Treasure Island films produced over the years, the one that most people remember is the 1950 Disney film which starred Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins, and Robert Newton as Long John Silver. It was Disney‘s first completely live-action film, and the first screen version of Treasure Island made in color.
