3rd February 2012Film Production News - Russell Crowe Cast As Noah?
Film Production in Hollywood often fills crowds with merry songs of laughter, and this is especially so when it is unintended. Strap yourselves in then folks, because Russell Crowe (The only grumpy New-Zealander in history) is in line to play Noah. That’s right, the beard-wielding biblical superhero.
Now, the sheer absurdity of this prospect is so painstakingly apparent that I shall refrain from pointing it out; I should rather like to mention the curve-ball in this whole farce - the attachment of Darren Aronofski. At its very worst, you could describe Aronofski’s work as self-indulgent. At his best, his ideas actually polish up quite nicely on celluloid. So, the question remains – Which will the adaption of Noah turn out to be? Though Aronofski has demonstrated that he can drop the ball and become lost in pseudo-religious twaddle (The Fountain), he can also harness monotheistic mythology to create something truly unique (Pi).
So then, an unstoppable force meets an immovable object – Aronofski’s talent pitted against, well, Russell Crowe’s anti-talent. This should be interesting.
