This morning we have the first look at Russell Crowe as the title character in Darren Aronofsky‘s currently filming Biblical epic Noah.
The film is described as a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah (Crowe) is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood. 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.
I’ve added a much larger version of the picture below.
Noah hits theaters on March 28, 2014. Yeah, you have some time to wait.
