Captain Jack Aubrey may sail the high seas once again as a new report reveals 20th Century is developing a new version of Master and Commander, rebooting the property that started and ended with the 2004 film. Deadline brings word that A Monster Calls writer Patrick Ness has been tapped to pen the script which will reportedly be based on the first book in the “Aubrey–Maturin series” series by Patrick O’Brian. The first book/new film would follow the Jack Aubrey character as a young man and explore “how his friendship with his naval surgeon, Stephen Maturin begins,” according to the trade.
That’s the problem with kids these days.No focus.
Peter Weirs film is brilliant. An exacting, detail oriented, epic tale of fidelity to Empire & service, regardless of the cost. Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack. Definitely an adults movie. https://t.co/22yjNtQRbg
