As you may have been reading, we attended this weekend's London Film and Comic Con in the smoke. We've posted a little of the talks that Ron Perlman gave, and here's a little on what Billy Boyd (Pippin in Lord of the Rings) had to say. Seems there may be a chance of a Master and Commander sequel...

There are many Master and Commander books...

BB: There are like 21 books of Master and Commander, and Fox already own the ship so a lot of people, I think were confused as to why there hasn't been a sequel yet. We'll just have to wait and see. There is talk of it and Peter Weir said that I won't die in the next one, but he said I will die in the third one. So I've still got another movie, and then I've got a death scene! So great! I do hope they make some more as I had great fun making that film. It was one of the best summers of my life. Just because of the way things worked out. All of my friends came to stay including Elijah (Wood), Dom (Monahan).... a lot of the people from Lord of the Rings were staying at my house in Mexico as I made the film, and I was off working everyday as they surfed, and painted, played chess. We had a little hippy nation. So yeah...it was just a lot of fun to make that film. So yeah, I hope they make another one. Then I can go surfing again in Mexico.

So what are you working on at the moment?

BB: I've got a film called 'On a Clear Day', which will be out in August or September in Britain. Then I've just finished another film called 'Save Angel Hope', which is sort of a con man film. A lot of fun. It was filmed in Luxembourg and Africa. Then I want to do more theatre, but there may be another film, but that's not solid yet, so I won;t talk about that. So that's what I'm up to. And walking my dog....and painting frocks.
