Oceans could be battlefields again if 20th Century Studios has its way. In an interview with THR, studio president Steve Asbell hinted at a possibility of a prequel to the 2003 cult classic."I’m trying so hard," Asbell says. "It’s the first movie I worked on at Fox twenty years ago. We have a great script. It just needs the right director."20th Century Studios really wants to do a Master and Commander prequel.

A prequel makes sense in light of how much time has passed, but there's plenty to mine from the original source material as well, which spans more than 20 novels. We wrote in our review of the original movie, "Like its characters, [Master and Commander's] strengths are numerous and undeniable, and its shortcomings are understated-but-significant. It's a tantalizing glimpse into a world we've never seen protrayed quite like this, and a frustrating taste of what could have been."Elsewhere, Asbell digs into the possibility of other revivals, including putting the kibosh on any hopes for another Die Hard ("Not yet") and Kingsman ("There's no plans on doing them anytime soon"), at least for now. He also responds to star Sandra Bullock's comment that Hollywood may not be brave enough for a Speed 3, laughing, "Hollywood is brave enough. We are brave enough. We are sitting by the phone."
