An Epic Voyage into Madness
“Riveting” - USA Today "Superb" - Tony Scott, Variety
Herman Melville's classic tale comes to life like never before in this suspenseful and thrilling adaptation from Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather) and Robert Halmi Sr. Welcome aboard the Pequod, a Nantucket whaling ship under the dubious command of Captain Ahab (Patrick Stewart, TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation), a man obsessed with vengeance against a menacing beast that not only stole the lives of his former crew but continues to haunt him from the sea. Co-starring Academy Award winner Gregory Peck, Henry Thomas (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), Ted Levine (TV's Monk), Dominic Purcell (TV's Prison Break), Moby Dick takes you on an epic journey into the deepest waters of the ocean - and the furthest reaches of sanity - in pursuit of the legendary white whale.
Starring: Patrick Stewart, Henry Thomas, Gregory Peck, Ted Levine, Bruce Spence, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Dominic Purcell
Executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather)
My Thoughts
The Moby Dick mini series brings the classic novel to life on the small screen. Follow Captain Ahab as he journeys into obsession and madness in an effort to catch the giant whale. He blames the whale for killing his crew and seeks revenge, and risks the lives of everyone around him to achieve it.
This is a really awesome film that brings to life the classic novel. Patrick Stewart was perfect for the role. I think they stayed pretty true to the novel, and the setting and costumes were all amazing. If you'd like to grab a copy of his awesome DVD, it's available online at Mill Creek.
