New In The Heart Of The Sea Trailer Lands Online

Posted on:

Massive flail whaleIf there’s one thing Old Man Empire taught us, it’s never to meddle with a sociopathic whale. And he was gnarly seafarer with kippers for hands and a pipe permanently clenched between the two remaining gnashers he hadn’t had prised from his face by a kraken off the Cape of Good Hope. Sadly the crew of The Essex, a similarly salty bunch, never met the kipper-fingered seafarer or had the chance to heed his sage advice. This new trailer for Ron Howard’s In The Heart Of The Sea lays bare the terrible consequences.Adapted from Nathaniel Philbrick’s Moby Dick origin story of the same name, Howard’s sea movie relays the misadventures…
