The Sea Beast Interviews
Check outThe Sea Beastinterviews below:
During our interview with him, Chris Williams said that withThe Sea Beast, he was hoping to bring back the kind of classic adventure story that he grew up watching and loved, drawing his inspiration from movies such asSinbad:Legend of the Seven SeasorRaiders of the Lost Ark. His goal was to bring this feeling to a new generation.
The Sea Beastis the story of the great Jacob Holland (Karl Urban), a sea monster hunter, whose life completely changes overnight when a feisty young girl, Maisie (Zaris-Angel Hator), is secretly aboard his ship. Together, they are going to live the most epic, perilous, and unexpected journey across the seas and find a new meaning to the word “family”. Karl Urbandeclared the following:
“I was pretty blown away by the visuals (…) and I certainly fell in love with the whole world that they’re in, and the idea of sailing the seas and living in those exotic locations. It’s a lot of fun.”
The Sea Beastis full of treasures and surprises, but Jacob and Maisie’s relationship is probably one of the biggest strengths of the movie. Zaris-Angel Hator, Disney lover and ultimate Moana fan, found her dream role as she was accompanied by Williams, co-director of Moana. The young actress told us how much she loved Maisie’s humor and personality:
“There’s so much to love about being Maisie. I love the different emotions she has (…) and I especially love her sassiness (…). It’s almost like I know her, I definitely felt close to her.”
As an adventure movie, the soundtrack had to carry as many emotions and epicness as the story itself. Williams said the following:
“I knew Mark Mancina, the composer, from working on Moana, and he was very excited about working on this movie.We wanted it to feel, on some level, like a classic adventure story, to feel like it would evoke some of those great movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark, or Lawrence of Arabia (…) but we also wanted to feel fresh and new at the same time”.
The Sea Beastis a deep breath of fresh air, with the perfect dose of adventure, humor, and heart and it will be available tostream on July 8th on Netflix!
