New “In The Heart of the Sea” trailer released

Chris Hemsworth trades in his Asgardian hammer for a harpoon in this December's “In the Heart of the Sea”, and the actor has unleashed a new trailer for our enjoyment. It's full of intense drama on the open ocean, man's struggle for survival against a gargantuan agent of Mother Nature, and gorgeous imagery all around.

In lieu of a traditional trailer unveiling on YouTube, Hemsworth released the third “In the Heart of the Sea” trailer on his Twitter feed. The film is directed by Ron Howard and takes inspiration from the true story behind Moby Dick. It focuses on the men who steered the Essex, a whaling ship based out of New England that encountered a mammoth-sized white whale in 1820.

While “Moby Dick” centered on the most dramatic aspect, the actual event itself, “In the Heart of the Sea” promises to also dive into the aftermath. Hemsworth's Owen Chase, the ship's first mate, is seen in the trailer to wash up on unknown shores after the whale lays waste to the Essex.

Joining Hemsworth on this voyage are Bejamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson, Jordi Molla and Tom Holland.

“In the Heart of the Sea” will be released on December 11.
