Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: Ron Howard revisits the legend of Moby Dick.
While working together on Rush, Australian actor Chris Hemsworth suggested that director Ron Howard read a script that had languished in Hollywood for more than a decade. In the heart of the ocean. It is an adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick’s 2000 book of the same name, which tells the story of the 1820 sinking of the whaler Essex. The story that inspired Herman Melville for his famous novel Moby Dick.
Fascinated by the project, Ron Howard offered the actor the main role of Second Captain Owen Chase. Chris Hemsworth, loyal to Marvel Studios since 2011, when he became the face of Thor, thus allows himself a new foray into independent cinema. Alongside him is a young upstart named Tom Holland, who here portrays sailor Thomas Nickerson, will soon join him in the Marvel universe donning the Spider-Man suit.
But before playing superheroes, Chris Hemsworth grew a beard and went on a 600-calorie-a-day diet, losing a total of 10 pounds, while Tom Holland, protected by small labor laws, nevertheless tried to change the rules. Best suited to her skin of a hungry nature. In addition, they learned all the tasks performed by sailors of the 19th century: rigging, tying knots or even rowing.
