The Surprise could be sailing again!

[annathepiper]

So there have been rumors about Russell Crowe doing another Master and Commander movie for a while, but apparently there are now slightly heftier rumors! According to this AP wire article, there is an actual script for The Reverse of the Medal, and there are early-stage talks going on with the rights holder for the novels to see if it can happen.

To which I must say YES PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE. Because I definitely need me some more Jack Aubrey in my life.

Oh, that would be nice, indeed.

Especially as this was one of the fond hopes expressed aboard that little sailing adventure we had on Friday (which, delightfully, included music in the aft cabin of the ketch, although not of Aubreyesque standard of performance).

Damn, another reason to learn to play stringed instruments other than the harpsichord (which does not cope with proximity to sea-water).

It'd be a while yet before we saw this movie come to fruition, I daresay--surely they'd want to try to get all the major crew members lined up again, and if nothing else, that might take a bit with getting Paul Bettany and Billy Boyd! Here's hoping, though. :)

Ooooooh, yes please!

I lovelovelove that movie, and would adore seeing more!

I think it's probably become my all time favorite Russell Crowe movie, and that's saying something! Especially given that Robin Hood's due out next year! ;) (Man, that movie's going to have a high bar to top, although bringing in The Doyle will give it considerable weight...)

So yeah, I'm ALL ABOUT a new M&C movie. I'll have to bump up my priority on reading more Aubrey-Maturin just so I can get to that book in the series!
