New ‘In the Heart of the Sea’ Trailer Online!

Moby Dick is one of the greatest American novels I’m ashamed to say I barely remember. I was half-asleep that semester of sophomore English, and truth be told I was and still am a total idiot. At least now I have In the Heart of the Sea to look forward to!

Based on the book by Nathaniel Philbrick which in turn was based on the story that inspired Moby Dick and none of this is as convoluted as it sounds, In the Heart of the Sea is the newest biographical thriller (that’s a new one, thanks Wikipedia) from Oscar-winner Ron Howard. In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship the Essex was attacked by a big-ass whale. This event would later inspire Moby Dick, but In the Heart of the Sea follows the crew as they try to survive the aftermath. Shipwrecked, cold, hungry, and without wi-fi, they will be pushed to the limits and find out what it means to be human. Or something.

The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, and Ben Whishaw as novelist Herman Melville, who if I had to guess might survive the ordeal.

The movie will be released in IMAX and theaters on March 13, 2015 from Warner Bros.
