Moby Dick (2011 miniseries)

Moby Dick is a Canadian-German television miniseries based on Herman Melville's 1851 novel of the same name,[1] produced by Tele München Gruppe,[1][2] with Gate Film,[2] In association with RTH[3]/ORF.

The cast also includes Ethan Hawke as Starbuck, Charlie Cox as Ishmael, Eddie Marsan as Stubb, Gillian Anderson as Ahab's wife, Elizabeth[3] and Donald Sutherland as Father Mapple.

A "reimagined" version of Melville's book,[4] Moby Dick was shot primarily in Lunenburg and Shelburne, Nova Scotia respectively as well as Malta during late 2009.

[13] The New York Daily News' David Hinckley awarded it three stars out of five, remarking: "The action will hold your attention, though [the miniseries] is really more a drama of character and flaws and faith.

"[8] Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times wrote that while "[it] is not entirely silly or even half bad", "it’s an ambitious, beautifully made adventure tale that seeks to be respectful of the book while still making the characters and story accessible to modern viewers."
