[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 1171288, member: 1194"] Anyone even HEARD about this film? I idly opened up the Demo Disk I got with the Daredevil DVD, and I noticed that all the films on it (X2, Down With Love, LXG) had long since come out, but no sign of Master & Commander, a period battle at sea movie starring Russell Crowe, and directed by Peter Weir. I went to the [URL=http://www.masterandcommanderthefarsideoftheworld.com]web site[/URL] and noticed it's coming out in less than a month! And I have not seen or heard one thing about it - no movie posters, no internet buzz, nothing. Am I missing something here? I think it's awfully strange for a large-budget, "true-to-history" sea battle movie to be flying so far under the radar. I wonder if the release date was pushed back because of the success of Pirates of the Carribean? I can easily see how its success could bite into the desire for moviegoers to see another sea picture so soon. But this one seems VERY historically based. It doesn't seem like a big bombastic adventure movie like PotC was, for better or worse. For anyone who likes 7th Sea, or sailing in large frigates on an open sea, with broadside cannons blazing, it seems like a real winner from the little I've seen.
