News > From Wanted to 'Moby Dick'

Looks like Wanted Director Timur Bekmambetov will be directing the latest adaptation of Moby Dick. Variety goes on to mention the following details:

 Gone is the first-person narration by the young seaman Ishmael, who observes how Ahab’s obsession with killing the great white whale overwhelms his good judgment as captain.

And a little more:

This change will allow them to depict the whale’s decimation of other ships prior to its encounter with Ahab’s Pequod, and Ahab will be depicted more as a charismatic leader than a brooding obsessive.

Seems like we're going to get an action movie if you ask me. No release date has been announced.
