Harry Potter film series star Emma Watson is in talks to climb aboard Darren Aronofsky's upcoming biblical epic "Noah" says Deadline.
An adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, Russell Crowe stars as the man who must build an Ark to save all of creation from a coming flood.
Douglas Booth and Logan Lerman will play sons Shem and Ham respectively.
Watson would play a love to one of Noah's sons (Booth).
Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan co-star.
The "Black Swan" director was also said to be after Liam Neeson for another role in the project but that casting is still just speculative at this point. In a interview, cinematographer Matthew Libatique revealed that the story will also have a villain... Perhaps Neeson is the person they want to cast in that role?
Aronofsky & Ari Handel, wrote the original script for "Noah," but they evenually handed re-writing duties to John Logan (The Last Samurai, Gladiator).
Aronofsky, Mary Parent and Scott Franklin are producing the pic.
Production could start this Summer to meet its March 28th 2014 U.S. release date.
