Well it seems that Mr. Glover is really getting used to his position in making low-budget films. By low-budget I don’t mean “college student” films. I’m talking about Indie companies that give a budget of about $5 Million. He’s at it again, since the low-budget SAW, which an awesome movie by the way – the original not the millions sequels that followed – Mr. Glover is working on a Universal’s re-imagining of Herman Melville’s whale of a tale – Moby Dick. The film retitled Dragon Fire.
Dragon Fire will be directed by Ryan Little. Penned by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, the film will not be about chasing a giant white whale, but a white dragon instead. In relation to the character, the good Capt. “will be depicted more as a charismatic leader than a brooding obsessive.” Though the story seems a little off, it makes you wonder what they can do with a $5 mill budget.
Exec producer Gil Aglaure explains the film’s relationship to the original text by Herman Melville: “We actually use [character] names exactly the same and there are lines that are directly extracted from the book. It’s Moby Dick with way more excitement, way more action.”
