Sharpe update -- there is always hope...

[linaewen]

I haven't seen anything new on the proposed Sharpe film on the site I usually frequent, but found this announcement dated August 7th at the Sharpe Appreciation Society's site:

"SHARPE SHOOTING - AGAIN?"
There has been quite a lot of press lately regarding the return of Sharpe to British TV screens. Whilst it is looking increasingly likely that our swashbuckling hero, Richard Sharpe will return to ITV, the producers, author Bernard Cornwell and the ITV Drama department are still holding preliminary talks to iron out some details.

What does look fairly certain at the moment is that Sean Bean will return to his role as Richard Sharpe and there will probably be two new films based on the Indian novels by Bernard Cornwell.

As and when I get further confirmation of what is happening, I will update our website or the society newsletter accordingly. For now, lets just celebrate the fact that after 8 years, we may be getting some more "Sharpe"! [Chris Clarke]

I'll be keeping my eyes open for just such an update! ;-)

I don't think prayer is ever frivolous; God grants us the desires of our hearts, as long as it doesn't interfere with His better plan -- which doesn't seem to happen all that often! So I'm going for it, hehe!

Yes, that is a good site. The nice thing is, you can direct link to those pictures, so I have used them for posting on the ... ahem, Fellowship Board. ;-) In fact, this icon here is one I got from that site.
