Looks like we're getting a new Moby Dick movie starring Danny Glover as the fun loving Captain Ahab, and Moby Dick will be played by a white DRAGON. Yeah, a fucking dragon. Even if this turns out to be total trash, I'm gonna love it. I have always loved the book and the old Gregory Peck movie, and to move it to a fantasy setting is really exciting. Watching the video it would seem that they aren't straying to far from the source as far as mood and characters. I'm sure there are some people that will bitch to no end about the choice to make Moby Dick a dragon, but that seems like a pretty easy jump and one that doesn't have to effect the story, really, at all. Cross your fingers this in hopes that this doesn't suck.

I've never read it and never seen the movie (which, I am doubly-fucked for, since I love Gregory Peck so much). But Moby Dick sure did add a lot to Wrath of Kahn... I'm in. Especially for a fantasy movie that (usually, I think) will be more about characters than fucking hobbits.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it just me, or is there a distinct Dragonslayer aesthetic going on there? I fucking loved that movie, and its visuals even moreso. I hope these guys were taking notes. Looks like they were.
