Master and Commander sequel

[modernknight1]

Some of you may have seen this. In December, Russell Crowe talked about a Master and Commander sequel.

Quote from Wikipedia:

"Director Peter Weir, asked in 2005 if he would do a sequel, stated he thought it "most unlikely", and after disclaiming internet rumors to the contrary, stated "I think that while it did well... ish at the box office, it didn't generate that monstrous, rapid income that provokes a sequel."[8] However, early December 2010 Russell Crowe launched an appeal on Twitter to get the sequel made: “If you want a Master and Commander sequel I suggest you e-mail Tom Rothman at Fox and let him know your thoughts”.[9]

In 2007 the film was included on a list of "13 Failed Attempts To Start Film Franchises" by The A.V. Club, noting that "... the Aubrey-Maturin novels remain untapped cinematic ground."

Here's the story.

Bottom line is that the Crowe-meister is asking fans to write the CEO of Fox and tell him they would like a sequel. I thought what better place than this site to reach devoted fans of the movie that would love to see a sequel. I wasn't able to find his e-mail, but below is a recommended method by a couple of film sites to get the message across. Let's tell him we want it to happen Mates!

I'd never say no to more nautical historical films.

 

[Peter Blood]

seconded.



They also need to make more Hornblowers. At least two more would be great.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Indeed! While the movies we got were great, they barely scratch the surface of what is in the books.
And they amazingly expanded the FIRST (of eleven) books into FOUR movies! And then the next two books became FOUR movies too.
Then there's still the (VERY GOOD!) old film that covers three books on its own.
But that still leaves four books completely unfilmed. (I'm not counting one of the books because the story was unfinished. )

Which means they could make like forty two more.
