yeah, depends on what you thought of the Fountain, innit?

will be gash. Though I'll probably get a perverse thrill watching "mr. Oscar-caliber Crowe" interacting with 6 armed aliens.

Sounds like John Carpenter of Mars, but with more cubits

Oh, I just saw Ray Winstone is his nemesis. That's great, this'll be the "surly drunks, brawling" film. They should have added Sean Bean for good measure!

"I will win an Oscar...so help me God."

This isn't remotely what I was hoping for.

Yep, it's got Oscar all over it. Aronofsky for Best Director.

my friend is currently working on this, he claims it has really top notch visual effects. He also previously worked on Black Swan which i guess had a ton of non detectable CGI shots. All the scenes of her dancing in front of the mirror had to be heavily worked on in a computer to remove the crew and camera/light rigs being reflected in it. In some ways those are the best type of special effects, the ones you don't notice at all.

i'm just really pumped about protozoa pictures putting this thing out. i think that's really important to know.

I wouldn't doubt the quality of anything this man is working on. I've enjoyed all of his work.

So wait, is this not related to the biblical story? IMDb is still saying this is a biblical movie...

its related to it but its not following the story as written in the bible if that's what you mean. It's based off a graphic novel that uses the bible story has a basis for a bunch of weird shit. I imagine this will be a much stranger/surreal version of what Scorcese did in the Last Temptation of Christ

I see... not sure if want on this one, might have to wait til reviews are out.

I am intrigued. I am assuming it's too early for a trailer to have been released yet?

I like his films, but I did't care too much for Dark Swan.

Anyways, he's one of the more interesting contemporary filmmakers along with PTA. Looking forward to Inherent Vice as well.

I'm hoping this isn't Darren's first misstep, hopefully it will be heavy on the scifi angle.

yep. i'm working on this too. i'm in the office. booooooring

Framestore?

so are 65 year old christian grandmother going to see this movie thinking they are going to get some cheesy bullshit bible story?

hopefully

fuckinglol

The book of genesis illustrated by r. crumb is pretty sweet. I fear this will be an epic turd like Cloud Atlas. That's what the synopsis+actors list reads like anyway. It will probably be a lot more entertaining, and better looking. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully it'll be nuts.
