Everything Wrong With Darren Aronofsky's NOAH
You're gonna need a bigger boat. The delightful folks over at Cinema Sins have set their sights on a new "Everything Wrong With" target and this time it is Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic, Noah. Hit the jump to check it out.
I gotta say, I'm a bit surprised to learn director Darren Aronofsky ("The Fountain") has been doing a lot of press over the past few weeks trying to drum up interest in Noah for awards consideration. I'm not gonna debate if the film should or should not be considered for such and such award in such and such category. My point is, I never thought of Aronofsky as a director that would be concerned with how many nominations one of his films receives. Maybe this new "Everything Wrong With Noah" video from Cinema Sins will make Aronofsky rethink his aggressive campaign strategy.
NOAH is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood. The screenplay was written by Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel and revised by Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter John Logan (GLADIATOR, HUGO). Scott Franklin and Aronofsky of Protozoa Pictures, along with Mary Parent of Disruption Entertainment, will produce the film. The film will be executive produced by Ari Handel (BLACK SWAN), Arnon Milchan of New Regency and Chris Brigham (INCEPTION, ARGO).
Noah is directed by Darren Aronofsky ("The Wrestler"), and stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth and Anthony Hopkins.
