Master and Commander. It's atmospheric and fun, and I'm sad they didn't make more with that cast.

    I read something about that a while ago. If I recall correctly, it was intended to be a franchise, but Master and Commander was so incredibly expensive that they decided against it.

    I responded to this on another comment but from what I remember they got torpedoed by the MCU and thought they wouldn't be able to compete against them...however reading these comments here gives me hope as everyone seems to be over the CGIverse now.

    In 2021 there was some planning/writing done for a prequel, but I don't think anything came of it.

    That film is having a bit of a cultural comeback, so there's still hope.

    That's good to hear. I haven't read any of the books (not my preferred literary genre) so I didn't have a preconception of the Aubrey character. This sadly left me loving Russell Crow as Aubrey, and I'll have a hard time with anyone else playing him. Crow is 59, now; he might still be able to get away with it.
