what the hell happened to the sequal to master and commander, I'm still waiting to go to valperiso.

The last time I heard about it was two years ago. Peter Weir doesn't want to do it, I can't see a director nowadays who could make a sequel of such sophisticated adventure. Maybe someone like Michael Mann, he did The Last of The Mohicans and has worked with Crowe... Either way I think it'd be good to leave it alone if they can't deliver something good.
