A Storm Brews & Hot Young Actors Board Apocalyptic Boat.

Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth, and Jennifer Connelly are set to join Russel Crowe aboard Noah‘s Ark. (Woah, that was a lot of links.)

I have been stoked for this project ever since I heard of it’s origins a few years ago.  Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Wrestler, The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream) has been brewing this movie up since his childhood, so I’ve heard.  He’s apparently obsessed with the biblical Noah.  We’ll see if his infatuation juices the creativity poured into the project or if it storms on this apocalyptic parade.

Basically the only question I have is, why Russel Crowe?  Why the hell Russel Crowe?

You might as well cast Mel Gibson.  Right?

P.S.  I’m stoked to see Emma Watson and Logan Lerman in Perks Of Being A Wallflower this September.  Are you?

J.J. Abrams Goes Apocalypse After Conquering Islands, Outer Space, Giant Aliens, Tom Cruise, and the Time-Space Continuum.

I’ve loved pretty much everything J.J. Abrams has ever touched, and so I have high hopes this will turn out better than it looks.  It seems a little too drama-y for my tastes, but the over-arching concept is delicious.  I love post-apocalyptic themes, and this looks like a decently cool take on it.  Although, for the first half of this trailer, I honestly thought it was  the second season of Flash Forward (which was legit and should not have been cancelled).

How do you think this looks??

Also.  I want to live on that commune.
