'The Leviathan' Concept Trailer Blends 'Moby Dick' and 'Dune'


Irish filmmaker and writer Ruari Robinson, who created the short Blinky and was attached to a version of the live-action AKIRA remake, has made a proof of concept trailer for The Leviathan. The director wanted to create an epic film inspired in part by Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick, and this breatthaking trailer shows us a fantastic world where people take part in a hunt to harvest exotic materials from the eggs of the largest creatures mankind has ever seen. The Leviathan here reminded me of the sandworms from Frank Herbert's Dune. Here's what we know about The Leviathan so far: 

By the early 22nd century mankind had colonized many worlds. Faster than light travel was made possible by harvesting exotic matter from the eggs of the largest species mankind has ever seen. Those that take part in the hunt are mostly involuntary labor.

This is definitely one of the most epic videos I've seen this year, and I hope that a studio will produce a feature length film based on this. Check out this amazing concept trailer:
