Ray Winstone was initially unsure about his role of Tubal-cain in the film:
“But then I thought I’ve never seen Russell in a bad film. Then I read the script and I went, ‘You know what? Lovely’. I turned up and had four wonderful months on a film with really clever people. I had a ball.”
I recently ordered Noé Volumes 1 and 2 from Amazon France. The back cover revealed the titles for Volumes 3 and 4 (translated by the always helpful Amy).
Volume 1: For the cruelty of men
Volume 2: And everything that creeps
Volume 3: And the waters invaded the Earth
Volume 4: He who sheds blood
Darren Aronofsky announced on Twitter two days ago that filming for Noah has wrapped up. Looks like we have many months of post-production to wait through now, with the release set at March 28, 2014. [Twitter]
Just a random tidbit, but it’s a feel-good one. Film Biz Recycling is sponsoring a Rock and Wrap It Up! freezer on the set of the Noah. The freezer preserves “prepared but untouched meals” from the film set and then uses them to feed the hungry in the New York area.
Darren Aronofsky’s official website has been updated by Creative Jargon. Interesting design, but a little devoid of content.
Last week, filming on the New York set of Noah was temporarily halted due to superstorm Sandy. However, the cast and crew were back at work on Friday, according to a tweet from Darren Aronofsky.
The LA Times reported:
Hurricane Sandy has shut down production on at least half a dozen New York television shows and feature films, but none more ironically than Russell Crowe’s “Noah.”
The outdoor ark, which measures 450 feet long and is 75 feet tall and 45 feet wide, was not intended to be seaworthy. With production on the film wrapping up soon, the ark was scheduled to be used only sparingly in the weeks ahead and was partially dismantled over the last several days.
Emma Watson tweeted about the delay:
I take it that the irony of a massive storm holding up the production of Noah is not lost @DarrenAronofsky @russellcrowe @MattyLibatique
Clint Mansell has scheduled two new shows in The States: April 3-4, 2013 at Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York (Apr 3 tickets, Apr 4 tickets) and April 6, 2013 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles (tickets). Mansell will perform his works from the films Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Pi, The Fountain, Moon, Last Night and his latest, Stoker.
The New York promoter Wordless Music describes the event:
The first NYC live performance by English composer Clint Mansell, best known for his scores to the Darren Aronofsky films Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Pi, and The Fountain, as well as his work with the ’90s industrial band Pop Will Eat Itself. This very rare event will feature Clint Mansell performing live with a string quartet, full band, and video projection.
