Tom Holland (THE IMPOSSIBLE, stage adaptation of Billy Elliot) has reportedly joined the cast of IN THE HEART OF THE SEA.
Adapted from the book In The Heart Of The Sea: The Tragedy Of The Whaleship Essex written by Nathaniel Philbrick, the narrative follows an account of a whaling ship which was stalked, attacked and destroyed by a sperm whale in 1820. The real-life story went on to inspire Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick. With themes of cannibalism, survival and comradeship, IN THE HEART OF THE SEA is set to be an epic tale.
Action man Chris Hemsworth has already signed onto the project. Holland garnered masses of positive attention for his performances in Billy Elliot and THE IMPOSSIBLE, so it’s good to see him moving onto bigger and better things.
