Superstorm Sandy stops filming of Aronofsky's Noah's Ark epic
By Jennifer Lipman, October 31, 2012

In what could be termed an ironic case of life imitating art, filming of a biblical epic telling the story of Noah and his ark was put on hold this week due to Superstorm Sandy.

Darren Aronofsky’s film, starring Russell Crowe as Noah, was due to be filmed on Monday at locations in New York.

Cast and crew stayed away following warnings about the path of the storm, and two arks built for the production were docked, one in Brooklyn and the other in Oyster Bay in Long Island, an area hit by the storm.

It is still unclear whether the 450 feet long and 75 feet tall vessel, which was not designed to be seaworthy, sustained any damage during the hurricane.

4. Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins -

I think it's a "rent" movie, though why Sir Anthony needs to do a rent movie is anybody's guess.

Plus Emma Thompson is in it.

Hmm, could be a scenery chewing good time as a fantasy movie.

6. Indeed it does.

Will Bill Cosby be doing the voice of god, I wonder?

"Noah"
"What? Who is this?"
"This is the voice of the lord!"
"Riiiight."
