Thar She Blows! Final Trailer For Ron Howard's In The Heart Of The Sea

Thar She Blows! Final Trailer For Ron Howard's In The Heart Of The Sea

With mere weeks now until she sets sail, Ron Howard's In The Heart Of The Sea has launched its final trailer upon the seas of the internet. With previous versions showcasing multiple narrators, this one sticks mostly to Ben Whishaw's Herman Melville. Ahead one third! Ahead two thirds! Full ahead flank and out from the belly of the whale came a prophet, Amen!



Adapted from Nathaniel Philbrick’s Moby Dick origin story of the same name, Howard’s ocean-going movie relays the misadventures of a whaling expedition led by Captain George Pollard, Jr. (Benjamin Walker) and first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth) after it comes out second best in an encounter with an angry sperm whale, mid-ocean.

Being adrift in small boats in the Pacific is something of a cinematic trend in relatively recent months – Unbroken and Kon-Tiki also capture that “oh shit” moment when the wind drops and you’re suddenly 4000 miles from land with only a flying fish to gnaw on – but this one takes us to new and terrifying places. The South American landmass is still some distance when the food starts to run out...

Howard’s strong cast also boasts Michelle Fairley, Charlotte Riley, Jordi Molla, Brendan Gleeson, Tom Holland, Sam Keeley and Cillian Murphy among those who either set sail or must deal with the aftermath. In The Heart Of The Sea drops anchor in the UK on Christmas Day.
