It would have been a surprise if Darren Aronofsky made a biblical epic and it turned out to be generic Hollywood action. And if these new pics are any indication, this will be a rather different type of movie, taking the story of Noah and giving it a more naturalistic feel than most Biblical movies (if we ignore that the film thinks everyone living in the Middle East thousands of years ago was white).
The film follows Noah (Russell Crowe), who lives on a vast plain of volcanic ash in the lee of a volcanic glacier (the movie’s being 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.
While the film hasn’t had much mainstream marketing yet, Paramount is already courting faith organisations in the US, hoping they will turn out in droves for the movie. It’s currently due for release on March 28th, 2014.
Director Darren Aronofsky is bulking up his cast for Noah, both literally and figuratively, with 6’6″ actor Kevin Durand signing on for the film. Dakota Goyo, who starred in Real Steel alongside Kevin Durand, has also joined the cast as the younger version of Noah, according to 
The only thing anyone knows about Methusaleh is that he’s the oldest person in the Bible, dying at the age of 969. However he kicked the bucket just days before the Great Flood, and so will be making an appearance in Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, in the form of Anthony Hopkins.
A month or so ago Liam Neeson was in talks to play the bad guy in Darren Aronofsky’s biblical epic Noah. That didn’t work out, and now the role looks like it’s going to Ray Winstone, who’s in talks to join the film, according to 
While Emma Watson said she was going to college after Harry Potter and then put those plans on hold for a year to pursue more acting gigs, it appears she won’t be back at university, at least this year, as she’s now in talks to join director Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical epic Noah, according to 
It turns out the biblical Noah’s sons were pretty good looking, or at least they will be in Darren Aronofsky’s biblical epic, simply titled Noah. 
The last time Jennifer Connelly teamed up with director Darren Aronofsky, for Requiem For A Dream, it didn’t exactly go well for her character. Hopefully things will go a little better for her if rumours are true the Connelly is in talks to star in Aronofsky’s Noah – even if the film is dealing with the death of virtually every human on the planet.
Darren Aronofsky has wanted to make a biblical epic about Noah for years, but it’s only recently he’s secured funding to make it a reality. First he wanted Christian Bale in the lead role, but he was too busy, and then more recently Aronofsky’s eye fell on Russell Crowe.
