An Awesome Look At “The Leviathan”

“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.” Herman Melville, Moby Dick.

“There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.” Melville

That was the proof of concept “pitch” for The Leviathan, created by Ruairi Robinson and developed with the assistance of the Irish Film Board.

Here's hoping this gets made. It looks incredible.

To those handful of Windex-poisoned crayon-eaters who want to bloviate about realism and faster than light travel, whether the trailer was predictable or anything else – it's science fiction. It's a trailer. If you want something more realistic then go watch National Geographic and quit bitching.
