Adam Cooper and Bill Collage will update the tale in a script that will forgo Ishmael's narration in favor of a an "action-adventure revenge story" that allows the filmmakers to depict the white whale's decimation of other ships prior to its encounter with Ahab's vessel the Pequod.
Ahab will be depicted more as a charismatic leader rather than the brooding obsessive,.
This a controversial decision in and of itself considering the whole point of the novel is to depict the destructive nature of relentless obsession.
Still-I am quite curious to see where this could go....The writers of the comedy Accepted Hmmm...
