Just because he was a leader and charismatic, doesn't make that the dominant theme.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'd rather see them remake it as an interspecies romantic comedy. Now that has potential!

It sounds as if it is going to be a tale of whale payback. Who today, could sell a story in which whale hunting per se, is seen as a public good? In Melville's time it was. Ahab was rather charismatic, when Starbuck tried to rally the men to leave off looking for Moby and get down to making money, Ahab turned the crew in his own favor. All in all it sounds really horrible. I wonder if Moby will have an Orca sidekick from the 'hood?

This movie was already made. It was called "Orca: The Killer Whale" and it starred Bo Derrick. Also, the whale was able to blow up a factory from the motherfucking water. Beat that modern cinema.

Maybe a "re-imagined" version of "A Tale Of Two Cities" is needed, where Carton doesn't go to the guillotine?

I just hope they keep all the ultra-obsessive, scientifically accurate chapters about making candles out of whale fat, dimensions of a whaling vessel, population of Queequeg's African village, and the like.

Why do they blame this desecrating dump of whale dung on graphic novels?

Did graphic novels take their leg or something?
