Personally I think War and Peace has been over done. It has been a movie 3 time (1956, 1967, 2002) and a TV mini series 4 times (1972, 1991, 2002, 2007). In my mind none of those versions was all that memorable. I have my doubts that any director can turn this great novel into a great movie or mini-series. However if it does get redone I am sure I will watch it, with or without Sean in it.
