<p>Peter Weir is not as keen as Russell Crowe on the idea of making a sequel to Master And Commander: The Far Side of the World.</p>
<p>The Oscar-winning Australian actor starred as explorer Captain Jack Aubrey in Weir&#8217;s 2003 award-winning epic, and Russell has reportedly been keen to make a sequel for some time, encouraging his fans on Twitter in December to lobby Fox bosses to make the movie.</p>
<p>But director Peter said: &#8220;I think I had commanded the ship for that movie and it was enough for me and it was a fascinating voyage &#8211; I tend to do things once you know, I like to move onto something else.&#8221;</p>
<p>The film was based on several novels in the series by Patrick O&#8217;Brian featuring Captain Jack Aubrey, so there is material there for Russell to revive the character with another director on board.</p>
<p>Peter has just returned with his first film since Master And Commander.</p>
<p>The Way Back is another epic about soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940 starring Colin Farrell, Saoirse Ronan, Jim Sturgess and Ed Harris.</p>
<p>Peter revealed he was so inspired by the soldier&#8217;s story he wanted to tell it in film.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;I think it was the survival aspect and intense admiration for these ordinary people taking this 4,000 mile walk.</p>
<p>&#8220;And you think things like could I have done it would I have escaped and taken that risk?</p>
<p>&#8220;So from a man who had grown up with stories of WWII escapes and stories of explorers, it drew on ancient feelings of excitement about adventure and challenge.&#8221;</p>
