Darren Aronofsky, pretty much the director king of weirdly tragic movie heroes at this point, is at it again — this time taking all that signature spirit-spiraling onto twisty Biblical proportions with "Noah."

A first round of character pics for the Old Testament-stemmed drama dropped this week, and they're just as contemplative and broody as you might expect them to be from a movie which has been described as taking place in a "violent, freaky, scary world."

These people, following their voice-hearing, socially-ostracized patriarch, are made to sit back and watch the world drown while trapped in a huge watery prison-slash-refuge filled with animal stank, after all.

Russell Crowe, who portrays the titular ark-craftsman, even went so far as to say recently that he thinks the religious community has the wrong idea about the man who foraged through the big flood and that this movie'll set the scroll record straight in a sense. »
