This can’t be good unless it is so bad that it is good. A new movie is coming out whose high concept pitch had to be, “It is Moby Dick but with dragons, instead of whales.”  The trailer is below and the plot summary from IMDB is after the jump.  Notice that whaleship Rachel in the book has morphed into Ahab’s beautiful daughter and love interest for Ishmael.  Danny Glover plays Ahab and while the lovely newcomer Sofia Pernas plays Rachel.
