Universal ia cooptat pe Adam Cooper si Bill Collage pentru a scrie o versiune contemporana a clasicei nuvele Moby Dick.Universal has apparently noticed this slight oversight, and have shelled out big bucks to Adam Cooper and Bill Collage to pen a contemporary version of the classic novel.
Timur Bekmambetov, producatorul lui Wanted, va regiza pelicula. Poveste va urmari povestea unui tanar marinar Ishmael, care observa obsesia capitanului sau Ahab, de a ucide balena Moby pentru a putea deveni liderul Pequod-ului. Acest film se va baza mai mult pe distrugerea vaselor de catre Moby si disperarea lui Ahab de a o prinde si a o omora. Scriitorii am mai spus despre pelicula:
Viziunea noastra despre Moby Dick nu se aseamana cu versiunea care o stiu bunicii. Acest film este o oportunitate de a a prezenta povestea lui Moby Dick din punct de vedere vizual, adica al efectelor speciale, bazandu-se mai mult pe acestea.
Our vision isn’t your grandfather’s ‘Moby Dick’. This is an opportunity to take a timeless classic and capitalize on the advances in visual effects to tell what at its core is an action-adventure revenge story.

With WANTED director Timur Bekmambetov signed on to direct, this version is set to take what the screenwriters are calling “a graphic novel sensibility to a classic narrative.” They are completely scrapping the first-person narration by the young seaman Ishmael, who observes how his captain Ahab’s obsession with killing poor Moby overwhelms his sound judgment as leader of the Pequod. Apparently this film will focus more on Moby’s destruction of other vessels, and will depict Ahab as a charismatic leader, rather than a grim, man possessed. The screenwriters also had this to say about the film:
Our vision isn’t your grandfather’s ‘Moby Dick’. This is an opportunity to take a timeless classic and capitalize on the advances in visual effects to tell what at its core is an action-adventure revenge story.
