In the Bible,

Spoiler

Angels take on some forms that would scare people shitless. For example there are ones that have many pairs of wings and their entire body, including wings, are covered with eyes. There are really only a small number who look like humans and their role is to interact with humans so people don't freak out.

why doesn't the Vatican start advertising the bible with crazy ass angels and creatures and shit?
the bible sounds cool as fuck.

Now I can die happily knowing I saw someone spoiler tag the Bible.

Someone spoiler tagged something from the movie. Not sure why. But, I spoilered mine because it was a response to what they spoiler tagged.

The movie looks shit, but Jennifer Connelly is killing the red carpet circuit.

Here's a few pics of some random pages. Warning spoilers I guess as im not sure just how close the movie is gonna be to this:

Came out yesterday I think. It's fairly barebones, no intro, or sketches or anything, but it's a nice quality book and size.

You could try this review lol: NOAH: Swords, Angels and Complex Moral Questions

Aronofsky’s script (co-written with Ari Handel) doesn’t approach these topics subtly (and in fairness subtlety has never been a concern of Aronofsky), and without the towering presence of Russell Crowe as the Biblical patriarch I don’t know that it would have worked. Noah, being quite self-serious, often veers into silly territory, and some of the film’s performances are problematically overblown (Jennifer Connelly has a big moment that simply isn’t modulated properly, even considering it comes after all life on Earth has been exterminated by a flood), but Crowe - who in recent films has been given to a certain non-Kosher hamminess - is incredible. His Noah is a man of quiet principle whose descent into zealotry is sketched so finely that when he’s stalking around the ark glowering like a murderer you feel weird for still empathizing with him. Crowe understands the bombastic tone for which Aronofsky is striving, and he plays right below it, his face a cloud of troubles that reflects the superstorms that swallow the world later in the film. He knows that the movie itself is BIG, so he plays Noah’s struggles internally. It’s the kind of performance that reminds you why this phone-throwing bar band leader was once considered one of our finest actors: because he is.

I just decided to look at the trailer while I was in the 'Do Christians believe that everyone else is going to Hell?' thread. Looks alright but I'm more interested in Exodus. I like the story of Exodus better plus it'll be interesting to see Jesse Pinkman in a movie like this.

I read they're taking quite a bit of liberty with the movie since they pretty much have to.

 

[RustyNails]

Reading reviews it seems like Crowe's performance is buzz worthy. Early contender it seems. The content itself reminds me of reading Fountain reviews.

 

[Toa TAK]

It's getting favorable reviews so far (out of the six) that are out.

 

[Sent]

All his movies have been great. Will be seeing this.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

I'm glad hollywood is tackeling biblical-era stories again.

There's this, Exodos and a Ben Hur remake that I know of. There any others?

Someone needs to make a Epic about the House of David. Maybe a mini series if they can't condense it.
