In the Heart of the Sea

Ron Howard s partnership with DP Anthony Dod Mantle bore fascinating fruit with 2013 s Rush. Together again for a yarn about the real life events that inspired Herman Melville s Moby Dick, another visual feast appears to be in the cards. Howard hasn t had a serious brush with the season since 2008 s FrostNixon, but he seems to be pushing himself into new terrain as of late. Warner Bros. bumped this one from a March release to December, maybe signaling they have a player on their hands.
