#MASTER AND COMMANDER CAST CRACK#
There's no director or cast anywhere near this, but honestly, we'd like to see Weir given another crack at the concept if he wants it. Technically, this would see Ness adapting Master And Commander, the first book, since Weir's film drew from several tomes but didn't reference one specifically. From the sounds of it, unless de-aging technology is employed, new actors will take over the roles. From the looks of 20th Century Studio's new plan, only half of that wish seems set to come true, as a prequel is in the early stages of construction in dry dock.Īnother Patrick – Chaos Walking book creator Ness – is on board this time, with the aim a story that will outline how Captain Jack Aubrey (played by Crowe in 2003) and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin (Bettany in the film) meet when Aubrey is given his first command. Were you a fan of this movie? Sound off in the comments.Those who know (and love) Peter Weir's 2003 adventure Master And Commander, an adaptation of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin Napoleonic naval novels, have long wanted to see more from the series, hoping for a return to the characters played by Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany.

That was a character-rich movie that had some of the coolest combat scenes and practical sets that just do not exist today. While I remain excited for what is to come, I do wish we saw more direct sequels after the original. Weir has publicly said he isn't coming back, but Crowe has spoken about the film many times and even tried to get a sequel going in 2010. Reported via Deadline, 20th Century Studios is working with screenwriter Patrick Ness to tell the story about what came before this movie, but no word yet on whether or not Weir or Crowe will be involved. In mid-2021, we heard there might be a prequel in the works.

No matter what, movies like this one are sort of lost today. It also could be because it went up against Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at the Academy Awards, which swept most categories that year and took all the headlines. That could be because it was eclipsed by movies like the Pirates of the Caribbean series, which had a different tone and could have scared off producers worried about a sequel that didn't have an audience. With everything I said there, you would think this was a huge movie that everyone talked about, but it's not.

That series includes 20 completed novels of Jack Aubrey's naval career.įor the movie adaptation, Russell Crowe starred as Aubrey, a captain in the Royal Navy, alongside Paul Bettany as Dr. The movie’s plot and characters are adapted from three novels in author Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series.
