Darren Aronofsky Shopping His Noah's Ark Tale

published: 2011-06-07 23:20:45 Author: Eric Eisenberg
Ever since Darren Aronofsky decided to pass on The Wolverine filmophiles everywhere have been curious as to what the filmmaker's next move will be. With multiple projects in the hopper, the director has many options, including The Tiger, Human Nature and Machine Man. Now it looks like he's decided on something a bit more...biblical.

Deadline reports that Aronofsky has begun shopping around Noah, the director's take on the Noah's Ark tale. The script was originally written by Aronofsky, but is currently being written by John Logan. The report says that Paramount, Fox, CBS Films [UPDATE: A representative from CBS has informed us that they will not be buying Aronofsky's new film] and Summit have all shown an interest in the project, and New Regency is open to co-financing. The director is asking for a $130 million budget and is apparently being seen as "a big fantasy epic." Before last year none of Aronofsky's films made more than $50 million at the worldwide box office, however Black Swan crossed the $300 million mark internationally last month.

Basically, Aronofsky sees an opportunity to get a passion project made and he's not going to let the opportunity slip through his fingers. I am, however, wondering how he will treat some of the gaping holes in the original story, specifically how a flood was meant to kill all of the fish and birds in the world in addition to every other living creature. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Darren-Aronofsky-Shopping-His-Noah-s-Ark-Tale-25108.html

Set Photos From Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom

I find it hard to imagine that any real film fan isn't over-the-moon excited for Wes Anderson's next project. The story of a young, in-love couple that runs away and causes everyone in their hometown to panic, the movie's helmer alone is more than enough to raise interest, but the cast also happens to be the filmmaker's most notable cast since The Royal Tenenbaums, including Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel and Jason Schwartzman. Still don't think you're at the proper excitement level? Maybe this will help.

An IMDb Message Board user (via The Film Stage) has posted the first photos from the set and in addition to showcasing some of the set, the photographer was also able to capture a moment with Norton (who is apparently playing a Scout Leader) and Murray (who doesn't appear to be in costume). You can check out three of the photos below but be sure to head over to IMDb to see the rest!

Moonrise Kingdom Set Photos Featuring Bill Murray
Jun 7, 2011 by Brian Gallagher

A new batch of set photos have arrived from Wes Anderson's new drama Moonrise Kingdom, which is currently shooting in Rhode Island. Click on the photos below, which feature Bill Murray and Edward Norton, to access our gallery. Read on past the photos for more news regarding this project.
Actor Harvey Keitel has been confirmed as a cast member of Moonrise Kingdom, although his role is not known. There is also an unconfirmed report that Focus Features is eyeing a summer 2012 release date for the project. It would be Wes Anderson's first movie to receive a summer release, if the rumor is proven true.

Wes Anderson is directing Moonrise Kingdom from a script he co-wrote with Roman Coppola. The story, set in the 1960s, centers on two young teens who fall in love and run away from their sleepy New England town. Several factions of the town then unite to find the young runaways. http://www.movieweb.com/news/moonrise-kingdom-set-photos-featuring-bill-murray
