HH4 in Pre-Production?

WE wany MORE horatio !~

I purchased the full DVD set and showed the first one to my fiancee. She would not let me stop the series until we were throught them all in one week! She had not heard of them previously, but now wants to watch them again!!!!

OK, I am getting the complete DVD set for Christmas. Hello? A&E? HH4? Hello?

Crossing my fingers for HH4 Hope they clear all the hurdles and manage to sign on Ioan and the other excellent actors again.

It is a shame we may never meet El Supremo. Hornblower is brilliant and I personally find it disgraceful that A&E may not make any more episodes.

I am very new to the Horatio Hornblower series and like all here in these discussion boards, I have discovered a great production. The question is "Are there going to be anymore HH made?"
I really hope so. I am buying the books and have got my children interested in the stories, which is a very position thing. But I would really like to see another movie being made.

HOW CAN WE FIND OUT IF A&E IS GOING TO PRODUCE ANOTHER HH?

I think that as fans, we all need to post our desires to A&E. Maybe we will actually get a responce!!

If that doesn't work, there is always the doing what the fans for FARSCAPE (Sci-fi channel) did to get another movie. The fans actually found the financing and had the "Peacekeeper Wars" produced. What are your thoughts?

I would adore it if Meridian and A&E would come out with HH-IV, now that our hero is about to become Post Captain and a daddy. The books covering this Trafalgar period have a rather hiliarious episode at the beginning with Horatio on extended leave taking command of a wayward canal boat with family in tow and an equally funny backstory surrounding the official funeral barge of Lord Nelson (whose procession HH was commanded by the Admiralty to oversee) springing a serious leak and beginning to sink the fallen hero's body and all retainers into the Thames.

His upcoming voyage to South America to foil the Spanish and begin British trade in some of the breakaway colonies in the Roaring 40's will introduce the true ladylove of his life ( ), expand on Orrock's and Bush's roles, and make for some very lush and racy video footage.

I am rather amazed that Meridian-A&E didn't rush into production to have something ready for this 200th anniversary year of Trafalgar. (Maybe they have already, and they are launching a surprise volley on us in October. Wouldn't that be nice?!!!)

My very best regards to my many British friends over in the UK on this very grand year of celebrations. Huzzah! [Check out www.seabritain.co.uk. Some way cool things are happening all over the UK, with lots of Nelson exhibits, tall ships, reenactments etc. on tap. Be there or be square-rigged!]

I am coming over to give a couple of talks and to celebrate with some of my seafaring companions in early August in Scotland at the Interaction Conference to be held at their big convention center for five days. A number of our shipmates who came to Boston last year to help us out with Noreascon 4 are already planning to rendez-vous with us Americans (come over to the UK to return the favor) for pub crawls, to sing sea chanties, and to mess á la Doughty over that week. (Alas, I shall not be able to attend the Hornblower con in Portsmouth as well, since two trips to the UK in one year within months of each other are not in the budget, but I shall be there in spirit, anyway.) Looking forward to seeing my fellow and sister Hotspurs, Tonants, Indefatigables, etc. there,
