It's not a big fandom, and recently seems mostly gone silent. Well, last film was in 2008...
Interesting to read that Paul McGann was supposed to play the role - someone I know from Doctor Who ;) And I learned it from Alumfelga the other way around - that Paul McGann was in Doctor Who. ;) Actually, he's the first and original reason for Sharpe's disheveledness... They had to get a new actor so quick that there was no time to re-fit the costume, and apparently Sean Bean was a little bigger. That's why Sharpe spent parts of the first film looking like this, and in the next ones it was, well, in character already... Only what has remained of Paul McGann's time on the set is this photo. :)
