Based on Nathaniel Philbrick's true life book In the Heart of the Sea, it follows the Nantucket whaling ship the Essex, which was stalked and ultimately destroyed by a sperm whale in 1820.
Stranded thousands of miles from home, the crew struggled to survive; they were lost at sea for 90 days. Eight were rescued. The incident was the inspiration for Herman Melville's classic book"Moby Dick ."
Zwick co-wrote the script with Marshall Herskovitz.
Grand Epic Period Tales are a Zwick trademark.
Production begins later this year.
