Ioan Gruffudd Wants To Make ‘Hornblower’ Movie - Starpulse News Blog
Ioan Gruffudd Wants To Make ‘Hornblower’ MovieIoan GruffuddWelsh actor Ioan Gruffudd is planning to make a big screen version of his TV hit series Horatio Hornblower. The movie would also be a remake of the 1951 Gregory Peck-starring classic Captain Horatio Hornblower.
Gruffudd, 33, made his name in the hugely successful mini-series and is attempting to gain the rights to the books by C.S. Forester, despite the refusal of network A&E, which produced the TV series, to fund the project.
Gruffudd says, “I would love to play Hornblower again. I have a dream of playing him on the big screen and maybe doing a remake of Captain Horatio Hornblower, a.k.a. Gregory Peck. A&E decided that since it’s such an expensive venture to make these movies for television, they’re not going to make any more at this point. So it’s down to me, I think, to try to bring it back to life.”
Right on.
