‘The Leviathan’ proof of concept teaser video.

Basically, it’s Moby Dick In Space. This is not a bad thing! You can get a good deal of tension and drama in a man-vs-nature flick.

Via Run Freak Run. Just a proof of concept, but it’s definitely a watchable flick. More here for right now.

  1. Ok, after watching this on YouTube, I can see the text and I am really disappointed with what I saw (special effects are breathtaking, so in a technical sense it looks good):
    .
    First Problem: This movie is set about a hundred years from now. Yeah, okay, whatever. My suspension of disbelief is already gone.
    .
    Second Problem: The only substance that allows FTL travel, is by harvesting “space whales” eggs? In just a hundred years time, we spread to other planets AND THEN discover FTL travel with these eggs? Really? That’s dumb on surface. And unless I am missing something here, they don’t look like they are hunting/looking for eggs.
    .
    Third Problem: Forced Slave Labor, eh? It is like man is going backwards, in only a hundred years! Let me guess, it is the corporations who use these poor unfortunate souls. Unoriginal. Uninspiring. Boring.

      1. So … Moby Dick in outer space?
        .
        Because that’d be cool .. weird as hell, but cool.

          1. Yeah, and how many iterations of Romeo and Juliet has Hollywood done?
            .
            Nothing new under the sun, 1_.

    1. Well, FTL isn’t necessary for colonization. Just a willingness to spend several generations on a spaceship until the destination.
      Also these are colonies they aren’t necessarily subjected to the same institutions as Earth, in some ways mankind went backwards after finding the New World (the Atlantic Slave Trade)
