Darren Aronofsky's NOAH To Film This Summer; Fall 2013 Release Being Eyed

Where do you draw the line with this stuff? Just about everything that ever existed appeared in comic book form at one time or another.

Fassbender, Bale, and of course Oldman for Noah.

Guy Pearce or Gary Oldman as Noah

The villains would have to be the race of giants who were conceived from fallen angels and human women. You know the story of David and Goliath? Goliath was one of these giants mixed of fallen angel and human bloodlines.

Show of hands...has anyone here actually read a Noah comic? .....my guess is not that many people, yet here it is on the main page lol with soooo many thumbs ups

As I said in the teaser, there's a graphic novel that Aronfsky did that the movie will be based on.



It's out in Europe now, not sure when it'll be available in the US.

@Redleaf, i thought exactly the same thing! lol

Gusto was there for the "Great Flood.' He's providing a first hand account to Darren so the film is accurate.

Do you still have that autographed Bible?

Lol. 40? Noah was like 100 years old when he built the ark

He was 600. Lol thanks

@PaulRom - That's about it.

Very bad idea to make this movie. Some things are off limits.

Watching that Rogan clip, it occurred to me that the guy never actually said he believed the story. All he said was that they found a large boat that could have been the Ark or at least connected to the Ark story. Rogan is right that the story was embellished over the centuries, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ring of truth to it. There may have been a great flood in that region that inspired the story. It doesn't mean that God spoke to Noah or anything.

Let me cite an example - the Trojan War. For centuries, the story contained in The Iliad was considered to be nothing but myth. Then Troy was found. In fact there are a lot of Troy's with new cities being built on the ruins of old cities. While no one is suggesting for a second that Hector and Achilles fought at the gates of Troy or that it all started when Paris was asked to determine the fairest of the goddesses or that Helen going to Troy with Paris started a war, evidence has been found of Troy's supposed wealth, of it's high walls, of battle and even of the burning of Troy. While the mythological elements may have been added by Homer, there is evidence to suggest it may have been based on actual events in some fashion.

Plato's Atlantis story was likely based on the eruption of the volcano on the island of Thera, an event that corresponds with the Atlantis story in many ways and certainly played a part in the downfall of the Minoans.

So while God speaking to Noah and the animals being gathered two by two may not have been real, it's certainly possible that the story has some basis in actual historical events. Personally I find that idea more fascinating than the myth.

@PaulRom : thanks for the news about the novel out in Europe. I'm buying it right now.

Pitt for NOAH

^^^LOL!
