Funny; my first thought, when I saw the trailer, was "Moby Dick." I'll bet the guy who falls out of the "whaleboat" is "Ahab." A friend in the industry once said, "If you describe your project as 'X, but in Y', find another project."

Yup. I believe that particular genre is referred to as "regurgitated Hollywood crap."

 

[Scott DeWar]

huh, the write up comes right and says, "basically, Moby Dick in space"

Even firefly was pitched as a western, but in space.
