Ethan Hawke and Charlie Cox Teamed in This Miniseries Adaptation of One of the Greatest Stories of All Time

While most people know the saga that begins with the iconic opening line, "Call me Ishmael," Herman Melville's Moby Dick has been reimagined onscreen time and time again. From the 1956 film of the same name starring Gregory Peck, to Chris Hemsworth's 2015 film In the Heart of the Sea, the story always delivers on action, suspense, and grand spectacle. In 2011, that proved to be the case once again with the release of the miniseries Moby Dick, starring William Hurt as Captain Ahab, Ethan Hawke as Starbuck andCharlie Cox as Ishmael himself. And while the story is one we know all too well, the miniseries distinguished itself with a star-studded cast and a bold, modernized take on the classic.
