Master and Commander

With a dreary certainty, if Trafalgar is ever greenlighted, it will star Shia LaBoeuf as Nelson and be directed by Michael Bay and have ships of the line going up in titanic explosions about every 5 minutes. Or perhaps have some robots in it that can turn into ships biscuits.

Indeed he is and if they tack on a "death-bed" conversion to that film I am going to be terribly cross. Some of the casting for the movie is a trifle worrying....Jennifer Connelly as Emma Darwin?
