Last we heard, Darren Aronofsky was planning a biblical follow-up to the 2006 financially-unsuccessful cult film The Fountain. We now know that the plot involves the extinction of mankind and more importantly Noah and his life-preserving Ark.


“Noah was the first person to plant vineyards and drink wine and get drunk. 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,” Aronofsky told the Guardian. “The tragedies we perform on each other are so well reported. Quite clearly, the planet is dying, and we are dying on it. To find that funny, or to find Paris Hilton’s partying interesting, is beyond nauseating. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with comedy. My goal, though, is to give people something they can appreciate for a long time.” He smiles before making his first insincere remark: “I haven’t yet been able to pump out a teen drama. But I really do hope to one day.”

The idea originated ten years ago, even before Pi, when Aronofsky saw a museum exhibit. The director’s fascination with Noah stretches much further, back to when he was only 13-years-old. Aronofsky won a United Nations poetry competition at his Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn school. The poem was about the end of the world as seen through Noah’s eyes. But it wasn’t until creative differences split The Fountain star Brad Pitt weeks before shooting that Aronofsky first dabbled with the Noah story in screenplay form. Several drafts later, the non-traditional english language biblical epic is starting to come together. But the question is, will Aronofsky be able to secure funding? We hope so.

I haven't seen The Fountain, but this sounds quite intriguing.

well its garunteed to be really trippy... and really depressing... somehow. I expect three hours of cool effects, false advertising, and overshadowed by oversaturated emotion.

I like Darren Aronofsky, and I'll see whatever he puts out. I loved Requiem for a Dream on every level, and had similar reactions to both Pi and The Fountain. I enjoyed watching both movies, and realized that both are really good movies and really well made, but I just felt like I didn't quite get it. Which is awesome because it allowed me to think and talk about it a lot afterwards, but I still didn't quite get it. Which is fine. Similar to the way I feel about David Lynch, except I don't like most of his movies at all since I don't get anything about them at all.

EDIT: fuck this post. disregard all but the first sentence. I was stupid and uninformed when I was 19.

It's not really the source material but how you tell it, so it could be very good. I really enjoyed The Fountain, it was a great change after the bleakness of Pi and Requiem.

This sounds like it could be colossally bad

Hopefully it's realistic and the animals all fight and kill each other and\or starve to death for lack of food.

I also hope that it explains how the fuck they gather 2 of every animal.

so this is more than likely his next project, if he gets the funding (130 million)

Yikes.

Sorry. that last post of mine read like one of the half-illiterate comment posts one usually sees on Comingsoon.net.

My apologies.

Though, I do think this could be an interesting film. And Bale's involvement would make it even more so.

Gilgamesh and Manu have both put their agents on alert. Hoping for a cameo appearance.

Pi rocked my world.

Black Swan sucked balls.

Those are the only Aronofskys I've seen.
