Any of you seen info on the upcoming movie NOAH? I am kind of curious. It could be awesome or it could be awesomely bad. But I am optimistic and will be giving it a try. Reported to have gone over their $150 million budget, the film makers are feeling the pressure for this movie to do well at the box office. I am more interested in seeing how close they stay to the biblical account of the Noah story. Anyone else interested in seeing it?
NOAHSynopsis: After visions of an apocalyptic deluge, Noah, the world’s only righteous man, is chosen to undertake a divine mission to build a massive ark to save his family and all of creation before the impending rains fall and the flood waters rise.
Cast: Russell Crowe, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson
From watching some of the clips it looks like they have the people of the village try to get into the boat to be saved. I see nothing in the bible about that. AnswerinGenesis made an interesting observation about God wanting to save more. Not sure if either is true. I do think our telling of it seems to be a little too nice. It seems like they might have the people be really evil. Which I would think would be more accurate. The boys would probably except that easier then the nice pictures of woman and children drowning. I find any retelling to be a shot in the dark on accuracy. Hollywood versions I have thrown out completely. If you can't tell, I am a little crazed for adult conversation :)
