This is filming right now, apparently: IMDb. Starring:

Russel Crowe
Emma Watson
Jennifer Connelly
Anthony Hopkins

The Fountain is one of my all-time faves, and of course Pi and Black Swan are great. I've always found Requiem For a Dream to be a bit too unpleasant to watch much more than once or twice, heh, but it's also rather artistic. The Wrestler I thought was okay. But I'll certainly be intrigued to see his take on this "event."

Is it too much to ask for an "ass to ass" scene with Conelly & Watson?

That is offensive, sir. I'm sure that would be grounds for stoning back then. Unless of course they're mother and daughter, then it's okay. But I don't think it's a Requiem sequel, so no, probably not going to happen.

Ah I see what you're hinting...

Aronofsky's Ark...secret stash of gerbils.

Nudge nudge wink wink...I'll buy that for a dollar.

hmm... I have an idea where you're going with that, but I hope I'm wrong...

Yeah, I respect his work a lot. I love The Fountain and Pi. Requiem for a Dream is very unpleasant to watch (and I think that's the point), but a very good film also. I wasn't a huge fan of The Wrestler, but it was enjoyable and well done I suppose. I guess I just didn't care much for the subject matter. This should be pretty interesting, though, going big budget and using Biblical subject matter. His spiritual work I tend to find the most interesting. Well, that and this... naughty

I agree. I feel like he is one of the rare filmmakers that are genuine, akin to Kubrick. I never feel like any punches were pulled and i always feel as though i received everything there was from the story to be had. I appreciate him turning down robocop lol.

See, i knew there was a reason i kept going back to black swan

As for the dinosaurs, nah man, i'm just hard up to see Russel crowe tackle a frackin dinosaur. Have to admit, people wouildnt see it coming. noah has to fight off dragons of the sea to save the land mammals and human beings, badass cinema in the making, even if it is kind of blasphemous. What are movies for, right? jk

This is gonna be fantastic. I love his style.

(thought I saw some excessive shaky-cam in there, though. I hope that's kept to a minimum).

Meh. Aronofsky is a master of making tragedies, but IDK about this one. I'm sure it will be a good movie, but I doubt it will be as good as his past works (on an emotional level at least). I'll probably skip it simply because the story of Noah's Ark is boring (and full of plot holes, such as how did they account for all species on Earth, what did they feed them, who shoveled the shit, why did God kill all of the children, etc.). They get on the boat. They stay on it for 40 days. Then they get off. Where's the excitement?

EDIT: I see they're adding excitement by including a band of raiders or something? Again, meh.

Haven't even watched one of Aronofsky's movie's

might change with this one.

Dude. Pi and The Fountain are fantastic. He won the Sundance film festival (I think it was) for Pi. And The Fountain is my favorite so far. They might still be an acquired taste, but they're masterfully done regardless. Black Swan is fantastic. Requiem for a Dream is also a great work of art, but not pleasant to watch. The Wrestler is good, but not really as interesting to me (probably wouldn't be interested in seeing it again). Anyway, he's probably the closest we have to Kubrick, so the more money they throw at him the better as far as I'm concerned.

I've always compared him to Lars Von Trier, who also does depressingly-tragic original works. Dogville was a masterpiece.

I guess I can see that comparison since he is also a very skilled director, but all I've seen by him is Antichrist and it disturbed me to the core (#Dafoeisgod). It was beautifully done, but I'm afraid to see anymore of his movies.

Trailer is pretty decent.
I'll be interested to see how this measures up to the other accounts - Madeleine L'Engle wrote a fantastic noah's ark version - called "Many Waters" that I pretty much believe really happened... heheh.

Care to explain, Kaz? What angels with 8 eyes?

Cherubim, Leech. Those are the ones with the multiple sets of eyes.
At least, I'm pretty sure.

Huh... well, that's the first I've heard of that.

The Fountain was an abortion.

Pi is good.

Requiem for a Dream is depressing and fantastic.

I'll pass on this one. Not because I'm an atheist, but because I know how the movie ends, thank you very much.

Do you listen to a song only for the ending? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if by the technical definition Aronofsky is actually an atheist. But I would call him a mystic. (The Fountain being his main mystical expression.) This won't be your everyday Bible story.

My opinion on the flood, and there was one, is that many large religions like Greek Mythology speak of man overthrowing a race of giants before a great flood sinks their cities beneath the oceans.

These stories are very concordant to the Neanderthals and the end of the Ice Age that literally drowned a portion of Europe, isolating Britain - Neanderthals being giant supermen, many of the then culturally-dominant European races today still carry Neanderthal DnA, whereas other non-European and Indonesian descended ethnic cultures simply do not.

Pi. Requiem for a Dream

Loved those movies, but I loved the true documentary film A Beautiful Mind more - the schizophrenic in Pi didn't overcome his hallucinations without lobotomizing himself, or being ECT'd out of his sanity like Harry's mom in RfAD (although he was close) - he ignored his daytime hallucinations; and it was a true story.

Plus I can relate to the medication he was on. Geodon has similar effects - you lose your ability to feel emotion - on top of reduced mental alertness, ability to stay awake, near narcolepsy, and high cholesterol and blood sugar. Anti-psychotics are never good, the best anti-psychotic is someone in your life. Pi and RfAD display people who have no one, going through anxiety.

I've honestly never seen angels/Cherubs depicted with more than 2 eyes.

Even a Google image search shows the standard images of them.

And why haven't 8 eyed angels been used in movies before...they would've made a creepy image for Constantine or Legion.

Not sure what to make of this. Talented cast but Ray Winestone comes across as very cheesy in the trailer.

This doesn't seem so far off now. Comes out in March...

It really depends if they are including the nephilim (children of angels and woman) and the angels who produce the nephilim. They were the main villains within the story of Noah. Also, if they are going to include Noah preaching about the incoming flood.

As for the animals that is not a plot hole, they were brought to Noah. The earth was not fully populated at that time in history. Animals were not scatter throughout the planet.

There is really a lot of things that can be done with this movie that might not be done.

Will they show a representation of how the Sky look before the flood?

How the earth was connected by land and there was no oceans as large as we have now?

How the atmosphere changed once the flood occurred?

How the angels who came down and had relations with women and their offspring took over the earth and ruled it?

Perhaps how the angels tried to save their children?

There so much to the story that could be done. If done right the movie can be really exciting and perhaps quite scary.

Or how Noah and his family were able to repopulate the Earth without any of the genetic mutations inbreeding brings.

Just one of God's many miracles.

When I was a child, that - well, a variant of that - question was what I first asked. "So, Noah's children married each other and ... ?".

It put the Quran and Bible into a proper context for me. Any hole's a goal, if you're stuck on a ship for long enough ...

If they changed the perspective of the story, made God out to be the big villain, Noah just a hapless fool in thrall to the mighty genocidal maniac and the angels just simply horny little devils exploiting a good opportunity. It'd be much more of a fun - and rational - story.


The only problem is that there would be no sympathetic character in the film at all...

I wouldn't expect the flood story to make sense. Just some meditative treatment of the ideas and character studies. That's what Aronofsky does.

Well, they were closer to perfection and had God's blessing. Any way that has been happening throughout history without all the genetic mutations.

^ Ha, that's kind of cool. Guess it's some CG creature, since they've probably done the majority (if not all) of the filming. I bet Nick Nolte's not very expensive these days, haha..

Was actually impressed in the end. This will make a tonne of money.

I guess I'm not surprised by some controversy over this film. I personally cannot wait to see it. Poster in Brazil...

I'm still pretty excited about this. And it seems to be getting some pretty high praise. These quotes sound very promising...


^ pretty much exactly what I've come to expect from Aronofsky.

The movie has already been in several Islamic countries

something about Noah is a prophet in the Koran and can't have any images of those.

I actually just clarified to prevent someone from ambushing you over the missed word.

I just don't get understand any that stuff with the Muslims and the images of prophets & Mohammed with them losing their shit

like for starters, How do they know that's what Mohammed looks like when they've never ever seen a picture of him

Saw this last night and was pretty blown away. It has some definite fantasy elemtens to it that might throw some people off (stuff you don't see in the trailer(s)). But that was fine with me, because it's mythology and mysticism (that's what Aronofsky does well in my opinion). I don't view it as history as some people might (all the Christian criticism is kind of hilarious and sad to me because people are completely missing the point). I agree with a lot of the reviews I've seen. It has a very strong emotional humanity at its core and is actually extremely moving. It takes the character of Noah very seriously and it's pretty dark. It operates both on a small human scale and an epic worldwide scale, which I think is a big reason it works so well and has been received pretty well by critics. It's fascinating, complex, and thought-provoking and still very exciting, thrilling, and engaging. And my god, some amazing acting performances, particularly from Jennifer Connelly, Russell Crowe, and Emma Watson.

My main problem with the film is the goddamn shaky cam. I can't believe he went that route with the cinematography. It serves no purpose on a film like this other than making the viewer distracted and nauseated (more of a problem on the big screen, of course, which the IMAX screen is). But it serves no purpose. It's not like this is supposed to be a documentary. So basically only loses points from me for shaky cam...


4/5 or 8/10 stars


Oh, and I've heard that they had several cuts of the film and that the one released was not actually the one that Aronofsky preferred. I haven't found confirmation on that (can anyone else?). But here is a great short video interview with him... Darren Aronofsky on Interpreting 'Noah'

There was shaky cam used for this film?

i didn't notice it....If it was then it didn't affect me, Only time something like that affected me was for Cloverfield.

Didn't notice it??! Well, to be fair, I don't think it would be as distracting and nauseating if the screen were smaller. I saw it in mid theater on an IMAX screen. I'm definitely going to watch this again on a smaller screen.

Cloverfield was fine, because that was the whole point behind it. It was all part of the storytelling... this group of people had a handheld camera to give it a "documentary" feel. So that didn't bother me at all. Noah is an imaginative mythical fantasy/drama, not a documentary.

Except with Cloverfield i got nauseated from that, Seriously after the movie finished i felt sick in the stomach not because the movie was shit nothing like that

learnt my lesson from those movies sort of movies never to see them on the big screen.

Movie was hilariously terrible, but I liked it. It was (unintentionally) pretty damn amusing, what with Noah basically being a complete and utter sociopath for the latter half of the film.

They expounded upon that obviously, but the Bible does say at the end of the story that he got drunk off wine and was naked. That part he didn't make up.

I find it more amusing that fundy religious literalists are complaining about stuff being added. It's apparently okay if Mel Gibson does it, but not a horrible, evil Hollywood liberal making a film about the importance of "love," which is kind of what "God" is according to the sacred Bible.

I didn't find the drunk part bad (though iirc, wasn't he also raped by his daughter(s) when he was drunk?), more the EVERYONE DESERVES TO DIE, GONNA KILL UR BABY SON, **** YO LITTLE LIFE-BOAT. I mean, it wasn't a plothole, yah, we see why he kind of lost it. But I was still getting some pretty funny The Shining vibes.

Also, is it just me, or was the villain a total badass? I couldn't help but root for him.

The movie was so wrong in every way, the only cool parts was the Golem/watchers, the sword from heaven scene, the creation evolution story.

Yup this shit was terrible.

I guess we were expecting two different things from the movie.

Noah the movie l expected more from it and l have to say l admired Russell Crowed work in this film but wanted more action the only action you had was when we had the ark setting off before this it was a little boring Emma Watson l didn't take to she could have done better and l felt she sort of had a poor performance in this I think since Harry potter find are over l thought her good acting in this would do her good in Noah

That was a long sentence.
