Noah is certainly one of the most intriguing films of the early part of 2014, with Darren Aronofsky directing his take on the Biblical story of the flood, complete with tweaked animals, unusual angels and plenty more.

Now a new poster for the movie has been released.

The film follows Noah (Russell Crowe), who lives on a vast plain of volcanic ash in the lee of a volcanic glacier (the movie was largely shot in Iceland) and has to trek up a mountain every day to get to work. He is told by God to build an enormous vessel to house both his family and the animals of the world to preserve them from a flood that promises to wipe out a sin-filled world.

It’s currently due for release on March 28th, 2014.

The first trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s Noah is expected in the next day or so, but ahead of that comes the poster, which suggests the world is not going to do very well in the movie. But then, a Noah movie without a devastating kill-everybody-in-the-world flood wouldn’t be much of a Noah movie.

Although the plot remains the same, Aronofsky has promised a unique vision, which we’ll hopefully get a look at in the trailer, including the fact Noah’s animals will be tweaked versions that aren’t immediately recognisable. It’s currently due for release on March 28th, 2014.

The first image from Darren Arnofsky’s Noah has been revealed over at USA Today. As you can see above, it’s not particularly revelatory, although does suggest Russell Crowe’s Noah isn’t going to be the serene Biblical patriarch he’s often painted as.
