New Character Poster For ‘Noah’ Featuring Anthony Hopkins
Paramount has released a new character poster for Darren Aronofksy’s upcoming film Noah featuring Anthony Hopkins looking as bored as humanly possible.

Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Jennifer Connelly, and Ray Winstone also stars. Noah opens in theaters March 28, 2014.
