Russell Crowe, Liam Neeson for Noah? -
Darren Aronofsky is ready to set sail on Noah, the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. I’m hearing that the Black Swan director wants Russell Crowe to play the title role in the New Regency/Paramount film.
I have also heard Aronofsky wants The Grey star Liam Neeson for another role.
Crowe is rumored to be wanted for the RoboCop remake, as well. The Neeson role sounds like it could be the “villain”. Regardless, it appears a lot of details are in flux and none of this news should be taken as fact.
