Just because Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the complete talk of the town lately, it doesn’t mean it’s the only big movie coming out in the coming weeks. Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea is hitting this weekend and it’s definitely one to look forward to. It’s well known by now that it was suppose to be released back in March, but was pushed back by the studio because of the awards confidence backing it. And after an entire new marketing push, we’ll be able to see what kind of monster Howard and star Chris Hemsworth have made this weekend.

By now you’ve seen just how big, beautiful and exciting this movie looks from trailers and every other promo that’s been released. But how did they make such a movie like this? What went into it and how does it look so realistic? The following video gives you an answer as we’re given a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes action of this open-sea adventure:

In the Heart of the Sea hits the open water on December 11th, 2015. Directed by Ron Howard starring Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland, Ben Whishaw, and Brendan Gleeson.
