Deadline is reporting that it is now likely that Noah, the upcoming adaptation of the classic Bible story by Darren Aronofsky, which will also be a graphic novel- will land at Paramount instead of bidding opponent 20th Century Fox. Below are the details...



Paramount is moving closer to signing on for Noah, the big-ticket re-telling of the Noah's Ark story that will be the next film from Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. Bidding came down to 20th Century Fox and Paramount, both of which were vying to partner with New Regency, which has been involved all the way through the process.


Deadline goes on to say that, although New Regency is working closer with Fox, but it's still likely either way that Paramount will be involved in the project. Which company do you think should gain the distribution rights for the flick?

With Christian Bale reportedly in talks for the title role, it's currently unknown when Darren Aronofsky's Noah will sail into theaters!

I'm hoping it goes to Paramount for obvious reasons.

Hope they cast someone other than Bale. He's too known now as Batman.

@Aklash Yes, but did you read the article? It says that it's being turned into a GRAPHIC NOVEL, which counts as a COMIC BOOK. Get it?

This movie's just going to be one big "I told you so". End Credits. Boring.

@Puyguy Not really, see my last comment. Originally, it started being covered on here when Aronofsky revealed that he was working on a graphic novel upon which the film will be based on. THEN we got the announcement that Christian Bale (aka Batman) was reportedly in talks for the role, and that kinda made the film worthy of being covered on here regularly. And the fact that Aronofsky left The Wolverine has nothing to do with this film being covered on CBM.

The bible stories are not far from those in comics, so it figures.

It's not a CBM but fiction is fiction.

So I wonder what crazy new angle their planning on using to retell a Bible story? Seems like Hollywood folks go all ape shit if a Bible movie is made that just attempts to adapt it's source material. I don't get it. Us comic geeks get pretty steamed if a CBM is made without respecting it's source material. We'll see what happens. Perhaps Noah will be revealed to be earths first wizard or something retarded like that.

wasn't Noah an oldy? howz bale gonna look 90+ year?
wasn't Evan Almighty a boxoffice bomb?(it had a Noah angle)
Doesn't Afronsky kill his lead evrytime(will he kill Noah too)

I m happy that he left Wolverine otherwise he would have made it a dark boring made for Academy award shit with no action only dark soliloquys and ultimately killed Logan in the climax for no reason.

I'm kind of surprised by some of the Bible bashing on here. Newsflash people....Galactus and Superman aren't real....Noah was!
