Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #155. Darren Aronofsky’s Noah

Published on February 7, 2014

Noah

Director: Darren Aronofsky
Writers: Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel
Producers: Darren Aronofsky, Scott Franklin, Arnon Milchan, Mary Parent
U.S. Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Cast: Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, Kevin Durand, Douglas Booth, Anthony Hopkins, Sami Gayle, Marton Csokas, Dakota Goyo, Madison Davenport, Barry Sloane, Nick Nolte, Frank Langella, Ray Winstone

We’re more curious as to how it’ll fit in a timeline that gave us Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler and Black Swan than the actual budget size of the project. Taking a page from Alfonso Cuarón’s playbook – Noah may warrant the mandatory popcorn fare a la Gravity label or will be Darren Aronofsky’s Titanic-sized shipwreck.

Gist: The Biblical Noah suffers visions of an apocalyptic deluge and takes measures to protect his family from the coming flood.

Release Date: Wide release on March 28th. Happy Easter everyone!
