Aronofsky's 'Noah' Not What You Expected

| By Colin Biggs on Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Many were surprised when Darren Aronofsky announced that his next film would be an adaptation of the tale of Noah. Not surprisingly, Aronofsky's tale will be a tad different than you may have imagined, including "six-armed angels". Hit-Fix's Drew McWeeny says this after reading the script for Noah:

Sure, the basic broad strokes of the story are pretty evident. Noah (Russell Crowe) hears the voice of God warning him that the world cannot be allowed to survive in the corrupted, ruined form Noah sees around him. It is a violent, freaky, scary world that Aronofsky and his co-writer Ari Handel have created. I’m particularly excited to see how Aronofsky brings to life the Watchers, eleven-foot-tall fallen angels with six arms and no wings. They have a major presence in the script, and they’re fascinating. Early on, when Noah needs to go see his grandfather, he has to move through the homeland of the Watchers, something that is not easy to do. 

Yep. Just like the good book said, six-armed angels combating with a world-weary protagonist.
