In the Heart of the Sea

Ron Howard's follow-up to the severely underrated Rush, Howard tackles an adaptation of the Nathaniel Philbrick book In the Heart of the Sea, which recounts the true story that inspired Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick.

The story revolves around the whale ship Essex, which set sail in the early 1800s on a normal whaling job, only to find itself the target of an aggressive attack from a giant sperm whale. The ship sank, leaving its surviving crew stranded in lifeboats with scarce resources.

Starving and lost, they were forced to turn to cannibalism, making the journey that much more harrowing. The film is slated for release on 11th December.
