Russell Crowe Looks Ready For Battle On New NOAH Poster

Kinda on the fence with this one. MIGHT see it.

Rockteur

I think I see what you did there:

I'm looking forward to this film.

My name is Noah, and I will have my vengeance.

Here we go with another damn religious debate.
Give it a rest. Its a [frick]ing movie

@Priest I actually wrote a story like that for creative writing in High School. xD The Greek and Norse gods vs an invading Hebrew god. lol My imagination sometimes runs wild.

Crowe was dope in Gladiator. Still love that movie.

so Noah.......murders the flood? jesus. that's quite the poster...

Looks like the cover to a comic book.
I am looking forward to this film.

LOL, I forgot how every article about this movie turns into a religious debate. I'm out!

Finally a poster where the main character is facing the right way!

In many cultures and religions they have the same story.

It's not unique to Christianity.

And my "Based on a true story" comment was tongue-in-cheek.

Sorry I didn't know I had to use a *sarcasm* disclaimer with every sarcastic comment.

*sarcasm*

Despite the devout atheists trying to spoil the fun:

I look forward to this movie.

There's a lot of talent in it's midst.

And the trailer looked amazing.

It's sad some people can't enjoy this movie for what it is.

There are going to be a lot of offended people either way, be they the followers of Atheism, Christianity, or Judaism.

I love it when everyone is equally offended.

@GodzillaFart: Is that you in your avatar?

That's what I always pictured you looked like

;)

@Bravado: Can't wait! lol

@Greengo, I agree. Dropping the "Fox News must've told you that" is indeed a burnt out liberal insult. Didn't exactly mean it like that. Just that the only place I saw that story was from them. It was on Facebook and the person who posted it is a die hard fundamentalist who was getting all wet and squishy and echoing the Fox headline saying it was proof the book of Genesis was entirely true.

I'm pretty sure we can bet that there was a massive flood in that area around that time and no doubt the local folklore carried it over. Bear in mind most people back then were illiterate and scientifically and geographically ignorant. The story was passed on orally and eventually made it into Babylonian myth, where it was later picked up and repeated by those who wrote it down for the Bible. The Central American tribes also had a similar story but it was much later.

The story makes for a great parable. It's very symbolic and has a powerful message. But the literal Biblical account of global destruction by flood waters is obviously fiction. It's too bad so many modern Christians see it as literal truth.

And at any rate, this movie looks about as entertaining as the last Transformers flick. And I'm already shaking my head about the hordes of people at the theater will be these people:

You guys realize the Ark and flood story predates the bible and has its origins in the earliest myths of man right? The bible is just a riff on all the religions that came before it, just as this is a riff on the story as it has been told and retold down the line. Aronofsky just chose iteration with Noah because more people will recognize it.
