First Look At Russell Crowe in Darren Aronoksky’s NOAH

Here’s a first look photo of Russell Crowe from director Darren Aronofsky’s feature film  NOAH (via USA Today). Aronofsky has been tweeting updates and photos from the film’s production on a regular basis. You can follow him on Twitter @DarrenAronofsky. The movie is shooting in Iceland and New York. I like the scruffy looking Russell Crowe – gives him character.

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 Aronofsky and Ari Handel and revised by Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter John Logan (GLADIATOR, HUGO).

Starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson and Ray Winstone, Paramount Pictures will release NOAH on March 28, 2014.

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).
