On the press tour for We Need To Talk About Kevin, the adaptation of Lionel Shrivers bestselling novel, Lynne Ramsay stopped off at Radio 5Lives Kermode and Mayo's Film Show and spoke a little about her next project - Moby Dick in space...
"It’s more or less inspired by Moby Dick, which is a fantastic novel, an American classic, but funnily enough a lot of people haven’t read it. So I’m working on something loosely based on that. And it’s science fiction, so we’re taking the premise into the galaxy.
"So we’re creating a whole new world, and a new alien. A very psychological piece, mainly taking place in the ship, a bit like Das Boot, so it’s quite claustrophobic."
What do you think about this, taking a classic like
Moby Dick and setting it in space?
I really hope this isn't what we can expect...
