It seems that Russell Crowe might be hitting the high seas once again. According to the Associated Press, Crowe has entered into early negotiations to star in sequel to Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World.

Crowe revealed that there is a script already written, largely based off of the 11th novel in the 20-book series, The Reverse of the Medal, but it's too early to tell if the deal will come together or not.

The Reverse of the Medal sees Crowe's Captain Jack Aubrey sailing into the Carribbean with his HMS Surprise ship, where he discovers his illegitimate son, Samuel Panda, now a Catholic priest.

The first Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World film took material from several of the books, written by Patrick O'Brian, so it isn't clear if this is the storyline the film will be centered on.

Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World was released November 14th, 2003 and stars Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, James D'Arcy, Edward Woodall, Chris Larkin, Max Pirkis, Jack Randall, Max Benitz. The film is directed by Peter Weir.

    The people who find this movie boaring, because there is some intellectual and historical backround, would rather watch mindless films that could keep a toddler entertained. I, personally, am overjoyed to hear a possibility of a sequel. I own all the O'Brian novels and am currenlty reading them.

    The first one is one of my all time favorite movies. Hopefully Weir directs if they make another one. And they need Bettany back to play Stephen.

    The first movie was alsome. I don't know why it took so long for the sequel. For those who don't remember, the first had him chasing a French Ship around the horn of South America towrde the Galopagos Island in the Pacific.
