A little question.....

[redsoxfan16]

Hey everyone!
I'm new here, so it's going to take a little time for me to learn the ropes. And I'm a huge Max fan, he's a great actor, and wicked cute.
I was wondering if anyone knew about a possible sequel to Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. I'm sure this question has been posted multiple times, but I'd figure I would ask it and at the same time introduce myself. Sure, the sequel wouldn't be nearly as good, due to the lack of Max, but I would still like to see one.
Thanks!

Hi redsox!
I read somewhere on the net that a sequel for m&c looks rather unlikely. I can't remember all the details exactly, since i picked them up from any number of sites, looking for this answer myself!
The Rose has been sold, but on the condition that it can be used again if the studio requires it (or something like that), Peter Weir apparently doesn't like making sequels, and something to do with the plotline. Since m&c doesn't uh, follow the book in terms of sequencing, and since the plot has been changed to make a better story (the enemy has changed, certain characters are not there/been added), a sequel (if any is made) would not seem to be faithful to the books anymore as the movie is an amalgamation of bits from the other books as well. I don't know precisely, but there are others out there who would be glad to fill you in.
Hope this helps (and makes some sense)

As much as I absolutely adore M&C (definitely in the pantheon of my favorite films of all time), I think a sequel would be a mistake. I like the idea of the viewer imagining how the adventure continues. Besides, there would be no Calamy...boring (LOL).

Oh I agree. No Calamy? It just wouldn't be the same!!!
