Oscar-winning director Ron Howard has lined up a cast of familiar genre movie faces for his next film, In the Heart of the Sea. Namely, Thor, Scarecrow, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Mad-Eye Mooney, and now Q from Skyfall and Tom Riddle from Harry Potter.
Potter actor Frank Dillane is in negotiations to join the cast, while the filmmakers are also eying Skyfall and Cloud Atlas actor Ben Whishaw for a role.
They’d join a cast that already includes Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Benjamin Walker and Brendan Gleeson. Tom Holland and Sam Keeley also star.
In the Heart of the Sea is based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s book about the ill-fated whaleship Essex. The ship left Nantucket for the South Pacific in 1819, where it was attacked by an angry sperm whale. But it was what transpired after that — when the survivors were adrift at sea for months and resorted to cannibalism — that is just as frightening as the attack that inspired Herman Melville to write Moby Dick. Hemsworth would play the first mate.
