First Look at Danny Glover in Dragon Fire

Danny Glover might just be too old for this shit, and when I heard “Moby Dick with Dragons” I thought maybe he was a little crazy.

But when I saw this first look in the novel adaptation and saw Glover’s Ahab, it looks like they are staying pretty loyal to the book’s themes, and just transplanting it into a fantasy setting.

One of the things I always cling to when considering an adaptation of a book to film is the spirit and message of the story. The word adaptation MEANS change for a different environment, and while not every adaptation does a good job of it, this one looks like it would be a fitting step to adapt the film into a different genre.

For instance, DiCaprio and Danes in Romeo and Juliet did a beautiful retelling without changing any of the original dialogue and prose of the master bard. They updated it to modern times and it worked rediculously well. Love that movie.

As for this, I am surprised it got this far into production and I didn’t hear about it. I will be keeping an eye out for this.
