In The Heart of The Sea - Teaser Trailer

In August of 1819, The Essex set sail from New England. The whaling ship set out beyond the edges of the map to hunt in unknown waters. What the 21-man crew discovered, was far from what they could ever have imagined. A sperm whale - absolutely gigantic and hell-bent on destroying their comparatively tiny ship. While battling the demon of a sea beast, the ship was destroyed, and many of the crew were killed. As the few survivors struggled to find land and make their way back to South America, they faced a harrowing adventure, and fought insanity, storms, starvation and despair. All with the great whale fresh in their minds. The crew referred to it as Moby Dick.

Based on the 2000 novel by Nathaniel Philbrick of the same name, 'In the Heart of the Sea' is based on the true story of the Essex and her crew. The story went on to inspire Herman Melville in his writing of 1851 novel, 'Moby Dick'. The film has been directed by Acedemy Award winning director, Ron Howard ('A Beautiful Mind'), with filming beginning in 2013 - despite being in development since the novels release in 2000. It is due to be released in March, 2015.
