The epic battle of man and whale.... now why does that sound familiar? Anyway, muscle-bound hero, Chris Hemsworth returns in this drama, putting his cape and hammer aside to show us that without question and superhero abilities, that he really is an actor to be taken seriously. It is based on Nathaniel Philbrick's 2000 book In the Heart of the Sea, about the sinking of the whaleship Essex. In The Heart of The Sea also stars Cillian Murphy and Benjamin Wlaker and is directed by Hollywood royalty, Ron Howard. The movie is scheduled for a release around March 2015.
IN THE HEART OF THE SEA SYNOPSIS
In 1820, the whaleship Essex is crewed by Captain George Pollard, Jr. (Benjamin Walker), first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth), second mate Matthew Joy (Cillian Murphy), and cabin boy Thomas Nickerson (Tom Holland). During their voyage, the ship is sunk when it is rammed by a very large and enraged bull sperm whale, ultimately leaving its crew shipwrecked at sea for 90 days over a thousand miles from land.[2][3] After the attack, the crew sails for South America and is forced to resort to cannibalism.
