He's made some incredible movies.
From Apollo 13 to Backdraft, from Rush to the Oscar-winning A Beautiful Mind, Ron Howard is a movie director that understands the human desire for adventure.
His new movie, In The Heart Of Sea, tells the true story of the New England whaling ship Essex, which was attacked by a monstrously large and very narked albino whale. It charts the exploits of sailors who left their families for years at a time to tackle these giant creatures in tiny rowboats, armed only with harpoons.

We also caught up with American actor, Benjamin Walker who plays the role of George Pollard, Captain of the ill-fated
Essex. The man can does a pretty decent Montgomery Burns impersonation...
