La historia bíblica que estaba preparando Darren Aronofsky para su próximo proyecto ha resultado ser la historia de Noé y su embarcación construída por órdenes divinas, destinada a salvar la vida en el planeta de un terrible diluvio.
Lo ha dicho así el director nacido en New York, de origen judío:
Noah was the first person to plant vineyards and drink wine and get drunk. It’s there in the Bible - it was one of the first things he did when he reached land. There was some real survivor’s guilt going on there. He’s a dark, complicated character.
Luego añade algunos comentarios que cobran importancia en estos días, luego de las recientes tragedias vividas en EE.UU., y hasta una velada crítica a las cintas de humor. Curiosamente pronto se estrena Evan Almighty, con Steve Carrell haciendo de Noé:
The tragedies we perform on each other are so well reported. Quite clearly, the planet is dying, and we are dying on it. To find that funny, or to find Paris Hilton’s partying interesting, is beyond nauseating. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with comedy. My goal, though, is to give people something they can appreciate for a long time.
