What you may need to know:
1. Ron Howard’s drama about the whaleship Essex, which was attacked and sunk by a sperm whale (yes alright) in 1820. The shipwrecked crew were adrift for 90 days and resorted to cannibalism. Nom nom.
2. Based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s 2000 novel of the same name, the story of the Essex was the inspiration for Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick.
3. The man that was once Richie Cunningham has assembled an impressive supporting cast, including the untouchable Ben Whishaw and our lad Cillian Murphy.
4. Andy Serkis is doing the whale.
5. (Andy Serkis is not doing the whale).
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: More sperm than Ron Jeremy.
Release Date: March 13, 2015

“Our” Sam Keeley is in there too, at the 30″ mark.
People will remember him as the “Did” in What Richard Did.
If it is as half as good as the book….(sorry can’t think of a smart-alecky remark).
Well that’s a load off my mind about DelBoy.
Phew!
I dunno. Id say Del Boys eircom story = your puppy’s now living on your rich uncles farm.
So basically your da ran over Del Boy and buried him under the patio is what I’m saying.
But Pa! Say it ain’t so! Poor Old Deller…
