Updating DA's Noah



Cinematographer Matthew Libatique recently talked with Hollywood Elsewhere columnist Jeffrey Wells about Darren Aronofsky's "gritty" take on the biblical tale of "Noah" .

Talking about that chat on the latest Oscar Poker via (The Playlist, Wells says "he was telling me about 'Noah' and what the script is like. They're going to start shooting in July in New York and Iceland and he says it's really a good script."

Aronofsky & Ari Handel, wrote the original script for "Noah," but they evenually handed re-writing duties to John Logan (The Last Samurai, Gladiator). Aronofsky and Scott Franklin will produce the movie.

Wells goes on to say "They're really doing the story of Noah, a very unlikely subject you might think for a cutting edge fellow like Darren Aronofsky, but that's what they're doing. It's going to be more likely a Fall 2013 release."

The issue of casting both the 40-something title role and the main villain has been problematic for the production team
