Noah (2014) Darren Aronofsky
With The Fountain being my favorite film, I am very excited to see some progress with Aronofsky's Noah, set to release in 2014. I bring up The Fountain because Darren assisted in putting out a graphic novel when he had production trouble with the film. He wanted the story out there badly. Well, Aronofsky helped with a Noah graphic novel before he thought he could get production companies to sign on to a film project. It just shows that this is a story Aronofsky wants to create. He has been talking about it for years, so imagine what a great mind like Darren will do with something he is so passionate about.
If the graphic novel tells us anything, this will be a science fiction type epic.

Here is a synopsis from the graphic novel
"It was a world without hope, a world with no rain and no crops, dominated by warlords and their barbarian hordes. In this cruel world, Noah was a good man. Seasoned fighter, mage and healer but he only wanted peace for him and his family. Yet every night, Noah was beset by visions of an endless flood, symbolizing the destruction of all life. Gradually he began to understand the message sent him by the Creator. He had decided to punish the men and kill them until the last. But he gave Noah a last chance to preserve life on Earth"
And, finally, some progress from the set. The first look at Russell Crowe as Noah.
The screenplay was written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel and revised by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan (Gladiator, Hugo).
Joining Crowe in the film is Jennifer Connelly as Noah's wife, Naameh, Ray Winstone as Noah's archenemy Tubal-Cain, Emma Watson as Noah's adopted daughter, Ila, and Douglas Booth and Logan Lerman as his sons, Shem and Ham. Anthony Hopkins plays Noah's ageless grandfather Methuselah. Dakota Goyo, Kevin Durand and Marton Csokas also co-star.
