He also did a Spanish-language version of Dracula at the same time he did the English-language version in 1931.
Laurel and Hardy also did Spanish versions of their films after talkies came in.
Henry II actually. With 2 very different Eleanors.
No, Dracula was played in the Spanish-language version by Spanish actor Carlos Villarías. Some footage of Lugosi seems to have been used in long shots, but otherwise Lugosi did not appear in the film.
A completely different cast was used for the Spanish-language version. The only thing the two movies shared were the sets.
Also not responsive to the OP, but Cate Blanchett has played Queen Elizabeth I in two different movies, too, and may do even more.
In 1989, there was a TV movie called Nick Knight.
In 1992, the show was re-made as the pilot episode of a series called Forever Knight. The new version was almost a shot-for-shot remake, but had a completely different cast, except for John Kapelos, who played the hero’s sidekick, Detective Don Schanke.
Keith Mitchell played King Henry VIII in both a 1970 six hour television mini series "The Six Wives of Henry VIII’ and a 1972 two hour film “Henry VIII and his Six Wives”, which has many different actors and actresses from the first.
If TV programs count, Amanda Pays and Mark Hamill repeated their roles from the 1990 CBS series The Flash (Dr. Tina McGee and the Trickster, respectively) in the current CW series. John Wesley Shipp, who played the title role in the first series, also plays the Flash (albeit a different Flash) in the new one.
I think TV does count, as long as it’s a direct remake of the same same story. The Twilight Zone, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents had remakes with the same story. If anyone reprised their role, this would count. But two Flash TV series, with different stories, wouldn’t count, IMHO.
Charles Gray played Sherlock Holmes’ older, heavier brother in the film of Nicholas Meyer’s The Seven per Cent Solution. I was delighted to see him return to the role in the Granada/WGBH Sherlock Holmes series.
Sorry about mistaking Henry IV for Henry II. Mental Rolodex stuck at Shakespeare.
I thought for certain someone would get here first with this but:
Hugh Jackman, as Wolverine, in any of the approximately 40 million incarnations of the X-men and the stand-alone Wolverine movies. He keeps saying this is the last one, but, hey whatcha gonna do: daddy wants a new yacht.
Which of the movies with his Wolverine are “two different versions of the same movie” per the OP?
Stumbled on this by accident: Ronald Lacey played a character named Oswald in, “Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” in 1984. He played the same character in, “Gawain and the Green Knight,” from 1973.
This tidbit is completely tossable if not accurate.
Once again, not versions of the same story.
Please, people, pay attention to the question as asked.
How are those not versions of the same story?
D’oh. Sorry, misread it. Comment withdrawn.
And German ones too.
The Monty Python crew also did at least one TV special in both German and English.
Another case of multiple versions of the same film completely redone for three different languages is Kurt Siodmak’s FP1 (AKA FP1 Does not Answer), a 1932-3 science fiction film. Although most of the actors differ from version to version (as with the Universal 1931 versions of Dracula), some actors redid their roles in two languages.
Philipp Manning played the Doctor in the German and English versions
I’m sure there are others, but a quick survey doesn’t turn them up.
Interesting casts. Charles Boyer is in the French version, Conrad Veidt in the English, and a young Peter Lorre is in the German version.
He doesn’t.
If he did, the fact that he was disassociated into a cloud of ionized particles would have saved us eleven thousand Bond flicks in the franchise.
And instead we could all be having a rollicking good time watching the eleven thousand flicks of the Chitty-chitty Bang-bang franchise.
