It’s Confirmed: Noah’s Ark Is Coming to the Big Screen (And Guess Who’s Playing the Lead Role?)

Russell Crowe to Play In Noahs Ark Movie | Darren Aronofsky

“Noah’s Ark,” a familiar Biblical story known around the globe, is about to get the Hollywood treatment. Famed director Darren Aronofsky is bringing the tale to the big screen. Actor Russell Crowe, who has starred in films such as “Gladiator” and “Cinderella Man,” will play the lead role, as details about the project are beginning to come into the open.

"Noah's Ark" was painted by Edward Hicks in 1846

Paramount Pictures will begin production on the film this July in Iceland and New York and it will be released in theaters on March 28, 2014. Aronofsky most recently directed the critically-acclaimed film, “Black Swan.”

“I’d like to thank Paramount and Regency for backing my team’s work to breathe new life into the biblical epic,” Aronofsky said in a statement about the film. “I rejoice that Russell Crowe will be by my side on this adventure. It’s his immense talent that helps me to sleep at night. I look forward to being wowed by him every day.”

As The Huffington Post notes, Crowe’s involvement in the project was originally leaked to media back in February. The actor subsequently confirmed his interest in the project on Twitter.

Also, some are speculating that action star Liam Neeson, who sparked headlines earlier this year after discussing a potential conversion from Catholicism to Islam, will also appear in the film.

    Will they spin it into a “global warming” issue? Who will be the hero? Will there be an insipid Dutch boy with his finger in the ****? How about an Al Gore character who preaches impending doom for reasons other than Noah’s and leads people intentionally into a valley for a huge fee after they trade off their water footprint?

      “While the FIRST Anabaptists were often baptized TWICE, once as INFANTS in the medieval church and again as adults in the early years of the Reformation, the overwhelming majority throughout the early modern era were baptized only once as adults, after first confessing their faith publicly.
      But unlike the majority of other major Christian communities, Anabaptists rejected child baptism in favor of believers’ baptism”

      Since you will not respond on the original thread, I wanted to make sure you got my response:
      From your original post: “If any Christian group that has ever existed has DISTORTED the Word of God it is the Catholic church.” So this is not an attack on the Church, it’s a complement?
      None of my post were directed at you until you call me out by name. I posted that the Bible was canonized in the 300’s (fact). Luther and the reformers edited or removed 11 books from the NT(fact). I also questioned the authority of King James to re-write the Bible. Why can he write a Bible and the guy in this article can’t? I posted the origin of the term Catholic. Then I posted 7 myths about indulgences. This is where you interjected yourself.
      I count 4 others who had issues with your “Christian responses”. But you call me bitter and I lash out.

    Oh yeah, well Jesus spoke about Noah (can we just say No’e?), because he was a real person eventually. See, Noah at first was a spirit, and all his generations well. See, No’e was in the east – Eastward at the ripe old age of 600 he and his sons went into the Ark. Then after he and his sons came out of the Ark, No’e then came down off his wine “And became a person.” Then after No’e became a person, No‘e saw what Ham had done unto No’e, and how Ham moved backwards to cover No‘e’s wholesome nakedness – spiritual honest nakedness.

      Most of the fishes did die. Haven’t you ever seen a fossil bed? Mostly fishes. They were only on the ark for 6 – 9 months. If an omnipotent, omniscient God did flood the earth and tell Noah to build the ark (and He did) is it a stretch that God would preserve the ark from being destroyed? No logic in you question. The remnants of the ark are fossilized in the mountains of ararat in Turkey just like the Bible said. Matching the length and breadth of the ark, just like the Bible said. You will answer to the God that flooded the earth someday, just like the Bible says.

      Second, The dinosaurs may have been gone already or even if there WERE dinosaurs, the flood wouldve wiped them out, as they would not be useful in the new human society.

      Third, God said he was wiping away all that which was breathing UPON THE GROUND. So,the fish are obviously just fine since they DONT live on the surface of the ground. That answer your questions?

I know I won’t be surprised if it turns out to be a “message movie” once again. This forthcoming movie will be just another attempt to do that because you have a man (and men/women) dedicated to the notion that there is no God and that the Biblical stories (NOT “tales”) of how civilization began are contrary to their non-belief in God. Mel Gibson’s problems aside, HE would take the ball and run with this opportunity (hopefully after having taking his daily Valium) and would do a terrific job with it without bastardizing the story.

      The problem is we have a non Christian team trying to tell a Christian story. Have you ever tried to watch shows like “the real Jesus” on the history channel. It is full of half truth, incorrect understandings, and bold face lies. I can sit there yelling at my TV debunking everything they put forth but many get mislead by it. The Word is alive and is open to those that seek the truth it holds. For others that read it as a history book they will get very little understanding and will be lost, maybe getting a third of what is being taught. That is why the term “eyes to see, ears to hear” is used over and over again.
      This will be a vanilla telling with lots added on that is not in the story to give it more “appeal”. So, basically a waste of time.

      well, it’s the ultimate fairy tale. yet, i would wager that most Blaze readers take it word for word. these are your climate change deniers and Obama birthers. if you can believe in a 900 year old man who packed up dinosaurs into a wooden boat, along with termites who would eat the boat, well, i guess you can believe anything.

      He was 600 and did not bring insects on the ark. He would have brought baby dinosaurs (i.e. small lizards) not a full grown T-Rex and Bronchiosaurus and probably baby elephants and everything else.
      If you believe it rained on rocks for millions of years creating intelligent life to come form non-intelligent matter (not to mention where the matter came from, but I digress) defying the laws of physics and biology. Separated into a female and male, found eachother, mated, produced offspring that would continually get bigger until they decided to suddenly start breathing air (again defying biology) and finally evolve the desire to worship some deity that it has never seen (according to you) for no apparent reason, then you have WAY more faith than I do.

      oh Squiddy, i opened up a can of worms here haven’t i. you’re right about one thing, the scale of evolution is astounding. it’s hard to imagine, and can be very hard to grasp for those who aren’t interested in delving into it. nonetheless, it happened, and the amount of understanding that we have on how it happened is incredible. to me, it‘s the most astounding thing that we’ve figured out. it’s not about faith, it’s about evidence. go to a site besides answersingenesis and you may actually learn something on the subject. equating it with believing in a 600 year old man is surely apples to oranges. we KNOW that humans don’t live that long, yet you believe it anyway. why? it’s in your book. sorry, that’s not enough evidence for any thinking person.

      You do understand one of the principles of evolution is sharing a common ancestor? Life is one massive tree, with many species branching from lower organisms. One species does not “change into another”, like a frog evolving into rabbit.

      Here’s a couple sites you might be interested in accessing. If your curiosity is piqued, you may want to access a few scholarly journals with peer-reviewed, scientific papers. Or, you could continue to keep a closed mind on the issue and tout evolutionary theory as a “worldview” rather than a scientific endeavor.

      lol, yeah, I FULLY understand the many diverse theories on evolution. I would wager I know more about them, and their myriad associated problems, than you do. So trying to argue from a position of authority will not work with me. Especially when you add nothing substantive to the argument. Really, you say nothing at all, you just post a couple links to evo sites. I do not deny the theory exists, or even that despite any logic it has taken hold and is advanced in science circles. But it is not science. It cannot be observed, replicated, or repeated. Even with ALL OUR KNOWLEDGE we cannot create life, something that supposedly formed by accident, unguided by any intelligence.

      In fact, secular scientists are abandoning the theory in droves because the deeper we dig the more we see the evidence refutes evolution. Those that really want to find an answer have to turn to astronaut theory, the latest escape mechanism to get around the impossibilities of life evolving on this planet.

      No, evolution is just a worldview. There is NOTHING scientific about it, it is just a flight of fancy. It is even a stretch to use the evidence available to support it, instead scientists have to re-write things to accommodate the evidence. Re-write or ignore. At every turn the evidence dismisses evolution. At every turn man has to come up with new and ever dumber explanations to explain the evidence. A T-Rex thigh bone with meat still in it, measurable C14 in diamonds, frozen comets that impossible exist in a billions of years old solar system, pictures of dinosaurs created by people that should not know what a dinosaur looks like…from all around the world…Polystrate fossils, the Kaibab Upwarp…The list is endless…Evolution has insurmountable problems and secular scientists recognize that. I am not here to prove God to you, I cannot do that. I have nothing against evolution being taught in schools, and I recognize that following this false trail has still advanced science in many ways. But do not try to argue that evolution is certain fact or that it is proven theory. It is anything but!

      “and I recognize that following this false trail has still advanced science in many ways.”

      Coincidence right? Really? Why would you go into a massive regurgitation of Answers in Genesis arguments and end with this sentiment? It has advanced science because it IS science. A scientific theory has testable hypotheses and can make predictions. Evolution makes predictions.

      http://www.dbskeptic.com/2008/05/19/evolution-makes-testable-predictions/
      http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/4770/1/RGWintherPredictionSelectionistEvolutionaryTheoryFinal.pdf

      Evolutionary theory can make excellent predictions in gaps of time, but not so much in the future, given the nature of the beast. As for laboratory experiments: One cannot demonstrate millions of years of evolution, and no one expects any scientist to do this.

      However, the DNA evidence for evolution is perhaps the nail in the creationist’s coffin. Using sequencing, we can trace the lineage and ancestry of organisms back generations: but I‘m sure you’re familiar with this, seeing as how you “wager I know more about them, and their myriad associated problems, than you do.”

      Buddy, I was a YEC for years. I read the same articles you’re reading. I read from the same association of creationists force feeding you individual bits of information to “refute evolution”. And not once, ever, EVER, did I see one of those “scientists” produce any kind of theory that can predict and unify. They just do what they

      AIG and other creationist ministries want you to think evolution is a worldview. It’s not. The evidence speaks for itself, but in the creationist’s case, they speak for the evidence.

      There was a show done several years ago (not sure it if was for TV or the big screen, where noah was in his ark floating around and would come across others who had made make-shift floating homes….they would trade with them and there was lots of drama etc etc. Yuck!

      It was a boat. They have found it’s remains in the Mountains of Ararat in Turkey. Just like the Bible said.

      For it all to be an allegory, sure seems strange that Moses wrote down where the thing landed. The Bible is explicitly true. It is only allegorical when it claims to be (very few times). History and archaeology backs this up.
