Final Trailer For In The Heart Of The Sea

It may have been delayed, but Ron Howard’s In The Heart of the Sea should still be high on everybody’s watch list, especially if this epic final trailer is anything to go by. Based on the true story that inspired Moby Dick, this tense high seas drama does look absolutely breathtaking, with a fantastic cast including Chris Hemsworth, Bern Wishaw, Cillian Murphy, and Brendan Gleeson to boot.

Released: 11th December (U.S.)/ 26th December (IRL/U.K.)

Synopsis: Oscar winner Ron Howard ("A Beautiful Mind") directs the action adventure "In the Heart of the Sea," based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s best-selling book about the dramatic true journey of the Essex. 

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. "In the 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.
