The filming of Jack London's classic in the 2nd round.
In the early 80s there was already a highly famed TV production and now the new little series is out (2 movies). Over here this has caused much controversys, because people like the old version much better (isn't it always so...). Especially the leading actor from the late production Raimund Harmstorf seems to have portrayed the ruthless captain Wolf Larsen more enigmatic than the current wussy Thomas Kretschmann, but perhaps this is a sign of the times...
Here a short english doku:

..and the famous potato scene (starting at 1:59) with Raimund Harmsdorf (german, but there is hardly any talking ;) ):
