Gleeson to star in action film based on book that inspired 'Moby Dick'

Brendan Gleeson will join Chris Hemsworth in 'In the Heart of the Sea'.
The 'In Bruges' actor has signed on to star opposite the Hollywood heartthrob in Ron Howard's upcoming action film, based on the true events of a crew shipwrecked at sea on a whaling boat for 90 days, which inspired Herman Melville's classic novel 'Moby-Dick'.
