New Trailer For Darren Aronofksy’s ‘Noah’ Starring Russell Crowe & Emma Watson
Paramount has released a new trailer for Darren Aronofksy’s upcoming biblical epic NOAH. “In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood.” The film is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark & is also based on the graphic novel created by Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel, and artist Niko Henrichon. Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth, and Ray Winstone also star. Noah opens in theaters March 28, 2014.
The studio is finally bringing in the big guns to sell this movie. And by “big guns” I mean Emma Watson. Not only do we get a lovely and charming and funny and overall perfect introduction from Emma (Miss Watson if you’re nasty) herself, we also get to see and hear more from her character Ila in this new trailer. Check it out below:
And some early reactions have begun to trickle in:
NOAH: imagine the serious philosophical and faith explorations of LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST with a LORD OF THE RINGS sheen.

THE FOUNTAIN really is the template for NOAH, at least when it comes to bombast mixed w/ deeper concerns. If you hated THE FOUNTAIN…

I think NOAH is going to be one I end up defending a bunch. It's odd and it's flawed but it's ambitious and thoughtful in ways I loved.

What I wonder is how audiences will take the way Noah himself gets dark. The film doesn't shy from the fact he leaves LOTS of people to die.

.@DarrenAronofsky's Noah is a much different film than whats being advertised. Biblical epic meets fantasy, with a philosophical core.

Noah has a pro-science pro-faith tone, but for the most part, I don't know why religious viewers would have issues with the adaptation.

Noah is a divisive film (not from a religious perspective), akin to The Fountain, will have its fans & haters. Im in the former for both.

Noah – Aronofsky's take on biblical story is solid, with some amazing scenes + a focus on character above all. Loved most but not all of it.

.@iamclintmansell's score for Noah may be my favorite Mansell score (will need album to confirm). It's next iteration of The Fountain score.

My favorite part of #Noah is The Watchers, these badass rock monsters – which they've barely shown at all even though they're a huge part.

#Noah is a complicated film, but strong overall. The studio seems lost, but they at least have a good product to figure out how to sell.

Really only the first half of #Noah has been advertised, minus some heavy fantasy elements. The second half is character-based thriller.

Opinions will differ, but nobody needs worry Aronofsky has stepped out of his wheelhouse to do studio fare. #Noah

Despite being a bit uneven and too long, Darren Aronofsky's Noah is still a powerful experience with some stunning scenes #Noah #NoahMovie

Look out 4 Darren Aronofsky's Noah.Shows how an artist can re-imagine a Bible story in epic & human terms. It's a provocation. No preaching

I have just seen Noah w/ several colleagues & dialogued extensively w/ Darren Aronofsky. This is a deeply important film. More soon.

Saw "Noah" by Darren Aronofsky. Powerful, artistic interpretation of the biblical text. A profound wrestling with depravity & redemption.
— Jon Tyson (@JonTyson) March 7, 2014
Just pre-screened "Noah" movie. This film is worthy of our attention for our deeper questions of faith; a powerful, edifying film.
