Darren Aronofsky’s (Black Swan) next movie will be Wolverine starrring Hugh Jackman but the director is working on a graphic novel about Noah. Yes, that Noah, the man who built a huge wooden boat when the world was flooding. The artist for the project is Nico Henrichon (Pride Of Baghdad) so you know the artwork will be great.
According to slashfilm, Aronofsky wants to do a movie out of it:
“It’s a great script and it’s huge. And we’re starting to feel out talent. And then we’ll probably try and set it up… It’s the end of the world and it’s the second most famous ship after the Titanic. So I’m not sure why any studio won’t want to make it…
I think it’s really timely because it’s about environmental apocalypse which is the biggest theme, for me, right now for what’s going on on this planet. So I think it’s got these big, big themes that connect with us. Noah was the first environmentalist. He’s a really interesting character. Hopefully they’ll let me make it. It’s there in the Bible – it was one of the first things he did when he reached land. There was some real survivor’s guilt going on there. He’s a dark, complicated character.”
Below is the trailer for the graphic novel which will be released next year:
