Speaking with
Coming Soon, Darren Aronofsky - who'll direct the upcoming adaptation of the classic Bible story,
Noah - confirms that he wants to make the film a big event movie, since the budget's reportedly $130 million. He also talks a bit about the religious background of the story, saying that it's a 'fable' that can be accepted by many religions.
On how big he wants the film to be...
"I want to make a big event film, and I think it can be that."
On the religious background of the story of Noah's Ark...
"I don't think it's a very religious story. I think it's a great fable that's part of so many different religions and spiritual practices. I just think it's a great story that's never been on film."
With Christian Bale reportedly being in talks for the title role, Darren Aronofsky's
Noah currently has no release date.
