Jennifer Connelly in talks for Aronofsky’s Noah

Deadline reports Jennifer Connelly is in talks to reteam with Russell Crowe in Darren Aronofsky’s Noah.

Connelly and Crowe last worked together on Ron Howard’s A Beautiful Mind back in 2001, and are now said to play husband and wife once again in Aronofsky’s biblical epic. Connelly has also worked with Aronofsky in the past; in his hard-hitting Requiem for a Dream.

While no other actresses have been touted for the role, the film already has Ray Winstone, Logan Lerman (as Noah’s older son Ham), Douglas Booth (as Noah’s son Shem), and Emma Watson (Shem’s love interest) attached.

Noah is said to be a close adaptation of the biblical story, where Noah is instructed by God to build an ark and take two of each animal to save from an impending flood. With Aronofsky’s spin this could truly be an interesting film.

Discuss: Glad to see Connelly and Crowe reteam?
