A photo of the massive life-sized ark being constructed for filmmaker Darren Aronofsky’s Bible epic “Noah” has been released, and has movie-goers enthusiastic about the prospects of the ambitious film.
“I dreamt about this since I was 13. And now it’s a reality. Genesis 6:14,” Aronofsky wrote along with the photo on his Twitter page Wednesday.
Genesis 6:14 (NIV) reads: “So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.”
The film, titled “Noah,” which is currently in pre-production status and scheduled for a Spring 2014 release, already has a notable cast. Russell Crowe is set to play the title character of Noah, and other cast members include Emma Watson, Jennifer Connely, Logan Lerman and Ray Winstone. New Regency Productions and Paramount Pictures will produce and distribute the film.
Aronofsky also revealed this week that Sir Athony Hopkins had been added to the cast, hinting at his role with the hashtag “#methuselahlives.” If the hashtag turns out to be true, Hopkins will be taking on the role of Noah’s grandfather, whom the Bible identifies as Methuselah.
