Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Released on January 2, 2004
Distributors
Universal Pictures (North America)
New Line Cinema (International)
Cast and Crew
Same as OTL
Notes
After the disastrous release of The Cat in the Hat, Master and Commander helped Universal rebound amid rumors of either a buyout, a bankruptcy filing or a liquidation of assets.
Well, @OldNavy1988, Universal Studios was indeed sold outright to Sony Corporation, while Peacock Media (NBC/RKO) was interested in the running for Miramax, which was Anschutz's entertainment property. But everybody will going to see Paramount's Mean Girls (to be released April 30, 2004), Universal's Van Helsing (to open May 7, 2004), Universal/DreamWorks's Shrek 2 (to be released May 19, 2004), Carolco's (OTL 20th Century-Fox made the film) The Day After Tomorrow (to be released May 28, 2004) and Disney's Tron 2.0 (scheduled to open June 30, 2004, which in OTL, was the release date for Spider-Man 2).
Are you getting @OldNavy1988 permission to add to this series? Just wondering.
Once again a series of incidents that indicate that whenever @OldNavy1988 is planning something for the thread it should be closed until those plans are published
Matter of fact, can I make a thread for ideas for this TL? I think that should work as a solution.
I mean if you want because I see you did one for the Henson verse
I'm actually getting ready to make it. You can put in your ideas when I put it up.

By the way, I'll eye Bill Mechanic to take over Universal. Well I hope Relativity Media was founded by former Universal bosses Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, as well as Ryan Kavanaugh and Lynwood Spinks to produce and finance movies for Universal, a new company Dune Entertainment was founded to finance and produce movies for Turner, a new company Skydance Productions formed to finance and produce movies for RKO Radio Pictures, and a new company, Virtual Studios will be formed to finance movies for Paramount Pictures, in hopes of competing against the established Legendary Pictures, who financed and produced movies for Disney/20th Century Fox, and Village Roadshow, who financed and produced movies for Warner Bros./Carolco.
