More Whale Movies.

Keep the whale movies coming! After the release of Big Miracle in February 2012 (starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski) there is rumor of another film being released! Woot. Woot.

Said to be based on the book, In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick, will depict a two hundred year old whaling story - where "a whaling ship is attacked and destroyed by a sperm whale".

This story showcases heroism, struggle for survival and even some cannibalism, AND...the talent tied to the film is none other than Chris Hemsworth (seen in The Avengers, Snow White and the Huntsman, etc.). Based on his previous type-cast role to date, I think he is the right guy to try and battle a sperm whale. Come on Chris...

Eye Of The Whale.

I came across and just bought this "ecological thriller", called Eye of the Whale, by Douglas Carlton Abrams. The book explains how the fate of a marine biologist is changed forever after encountering a humpback whale and sends her out to discover the meaning of the animal's unknown song and the 'implications for human survival'.



'Elizabeth McKay is a dedicated scientist who has spent almost a decade cracking the code of humpback whale communication. Their song, the most complex in nature, may in fact reveal secrets about the animal world that no one could have imagined. When a humpback whale swims up the Sacramento River with a strange and unprecedented song, Elizabeth must decipher its meaning in order to save the whale and ultimately much more. But as her work with the whale captures the media’s interest and the world’s imagination, many powerful forces emerge who do not want the whale’s secrets to be revealed.'
