Ron
Howard's upcoming film, In the Heart of the Sea sends us back in time to 1820,
when following a disastrous encounter with a sperm whale, the surviving crew of
the whaleship Essex was left a drift in three small boats for 90 days in
mid-South Pacific. Dieses, hunger, and ultimately, cannibalism took their toll
on the number of survivors of the whaling vessel.
In
the Heart of the Sea stars Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Tom Holland, Brendon Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Ben
Whishaw, Jordi Molla, and opens on March 12, 2015.
In the
Heart of the Sea Official Synopsis:
In
the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by
something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost
human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire
Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story.
“Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s
surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to
stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will
call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the
morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open
sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down.
