Crowe May Return to 'Master & Commander' Helm

LONDON - Russell Crowe is in the early stages of negotiations to reprise the role of Jack Aubrey as a British sea captain in a new movie version from the Master & Commander series of novels.

Crowe told The Associated Press on Friday that a script based mostly on the eleventh novel of Patrick O'Brian's 20-novel series, The Reverse of the Medal, had been written, but that discussions were at a very early stage.

"There's still a long way to go," the New Zealand-born actor told AP at a cricket match between England and Australia in London. He said talks had been taking place with the owner of the rights to the novels.

The 44-year-old Crowe, who won a best actor Oscar for his starring role in Gladiator, is a keen cricket fan. His two cousins, Jeff and Martin, are former captains of the New Zealand national team. Jeff is now a senior cricket official and is in charge of the team of officials at the England-Australia match.

The AubreyMaturin novels consists of 20 books and one partly written before his death in 2000 by O'Brian, all set during the Napoleonic Wars.

The 2003 movie Master and Commander took material from several of the novels. The Reverse of the Medal, published in 1986, sees Aubrey in the Caribbean in his ship HMS Surprise, where he meets his illegitimate son Samuel Panda, a Catholic priest born from an illicit liaison.

Crowe gave no indication of when filming could start but said it was one of a number of projects he is considering.

Happy Birthday to ME!

How beautiful!!! Did you see my handpainted sea horse bag under current projects? If you like it I can paint you one for the Trident Torq.....

Wow, those are stunning! And Ransom is right... you need to get those on Esty. I lOVE that site for shopping and would certainly take notice of your stuff.

And your beautiful work is more of a Hippocampus then a reg Seahorse... I'm all about the little guys. But thank you SO much for the offer. Besides, that torc was a gift with no reciprocation needed!

Oooooo... got this awesome Bronze bracelet as well.

Wow, and the guy squealed like a....um, I mean, he was giddy with delight when he handed it over.

Dang.... I've been busy.... wot with 2 Ospreys, 9 Bear heads, 23 pairs of padded Bead gloves, all for Work.... and then after work , making a spaceship for the 4th of July parade.....

I will be posting more about the bike in the Steampunk thread.....

I'm... not even sure I WANT to know what that is coming out the back.

Morning mates...

Those of ye who know me, are well awear that I have been a long time collector of Seahorses.

I am always on the lookout for seahorse rings and cuff bracelets. I have pretty much shopped my local places out but if you come across anything of beauty on YOUR side of the country or Pond or have anything to sell yourself along these lines.... give me a shout out!

Will buy or trade or....

Posted another one JUST for you RM!!

Hey!!!

That was my Holiday decoration!!

Oh I adore them!

They often sing at the Dana Point Tall Ships Festival here in CA in September. We sang a bit with them last year and they are something to behold.

By all means mates, if you get the chance to see them in concert don;t miss it!

Thank you... no goat intended I am sure.

As simple as I was giving the wrong date to begin with and yes, we will all be there on the 23rd in spite of it.

And my current annoyance;

Bruno...

Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn[/b]

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Thank you, I thought it was just me.

Folks who shoot off rude, self proclaiming emails to others before they give any real thought or effort into finding out what may be going on with the recipients.

Disney and the World at large seems are full of these thoughtless individuals.

I saw someone hurt terribly today by one and for no reason except the sender was full of their own importance and impatience.

I am off now to set it right! (grumble)

Too cute!!

True enough odd as it sounds it might be a gift from the Gods to some lonely Pirate out there...

(A simpler idea however for those in search of company... might be if some of them just took a shower once in awhile!)

Sand can be just the thing for cleaning!

And we have to Add Harve Presnell

What a VOICE that man had!!

Aye... come out and support Marty's Charity as he has always come out and supported our local get togethers when we've asked it of him.

Pirates of the Black Swan (along with your's truely) have been asked to come down and play on board the Surprise from 8PM to 10Pm on the 24th for the event so come out and give Marty and his WONDERFUL Charity all the attention and help it deserves.

Comic Con AND Pirates!... what a weekend!

HAPPY BERTHDAY LASS!!!

May ye have *happy feet* fer many more years to come!

Watching my Phoebe when she is asleep...

(Yes, she snores a bit but... that is nothing compared to the SBD's!!)

A day worth the cost of buying each and everyone if us a drink!

Happy Anniversary to you both!

Now step up to the bar and start the party!

Leaving soon for the Pier!!

Hope to see as many of you as can come!

Our respective generations will have to get used to a lot of icons passing in a short period of time.

Too true... looks like Walter is next:
