IMHO I'm happy with the original, a new one would be all computer generated, and i dont think it would command the same sort of romanticism of the original film.
Ah, but there's the point about a serial. The film, great in some parts, was rubbish in a lot of others as the plot was horribly shrunk to fit the screen time. All the germans, especally Von Bruning, were cardboard baddies and all the subtlety was lost. All the fun of the exploration of the islands was rushed over in a montage, and little of the action sequences put in, where they could have used models and under cranked the camera, et., etc. And CGI used properly is fantastic.
