See, if this was a move about Noah's ark in a realistic style, where only the carnivores are left in a desperate battle for survival inside a rapidly sinking wooden box, then I'd be interested.
Life of Pi was all Fluff and no substance. It was just BLEGH. It had a stupid premise, with a stupider ending. "You can believe this obviously fake story, or the more realistic one, Whichever makes you feel good"

How about no? Did you even read the link I posted?
I understand what it was about, that fiction is better then reality. But the way they do it, with is heavy handed approach and lame boring and sometimes hate able main character made the message seem week and just plain stupid.

I think they've got their work cut out for them, if they want to portray genocide as the moral choice.
I think this is why we should instead name this film;
God, Giraffes and Genocidetm
OR
Drowning your children when they don't behave tm
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing, singing

Pfft. In order to save a planet sometimes you have to destroy a planet.

Looks pretty megacrap tbh. I've got a bit of a track record of saying every trailer looks gash on this forum so i will not buck the trend. Also personally i never felt like i got a look at the Ark itself in the trailer, despite it being in most of the shots, this ain't a monster movie, show us the gosh darn boat!
Gotta love another sweaty Ray Winstone performance, 'Jonesey! Give us the gold.... I mean Ark...'
I think Man of Steel is the only trailer that's got me excited, the movie didn't wholly deliver unfortunately. Although unlike the rest of the internet i still thought it was good.

Isn't Darren Aronofsky an atheist? This could make for a pretty interesting movie, depending on the directions he could take it in. For all we know, the trailer might have just been the studio attempting to appeal to the bible crowd.

Yeah i was a bit shocked at this being an Aronofsky joint. When i was initially watching the trailer i was like ' Gee wiz, which Hack is directing this?'. I was more than a little shocked to see his name.

He may be, but he'd still know the value in story-telling. Even if you don't believe in Jehovah, he's a pretty important driving part of telling that particular story.
Otherwise it's just a story about a delusional man who's absolutely correct through the most unlikely coincidence known to man.

It shouldn't be that much of a shock, since he has been pretty vocal about doing this project for quite some time, long before it got greenlit. He was a Social Anthropology major at Harvard and flood stories are anthropologists bread and butter. Well, maybe not, but they are fairly universal, and you don't have to be Jewish or Christian to appreciate the Noah story.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Ok, so apparently, this is including stuff left out from the sanitized western bible. Including but not limited tooo
Sex with angels, the offspring of sex with angel. The biblical representaion of angels, and alot of really disturbing stuff
Things are going to get really trippy, really quickly.
I just afear that ignorant people are going to be all "OMG, they totes ripped off Final Fantasy!"

Considering that most people don't actually know that angels are definitely not like anything seen in the classical paintings, that's likely going to be the case.
I wouldn't be surprised if most Christians didn't know that their angels looked closer to eldritch horrors than actual people.

Genesis 6:4: The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
You know, if you are going to say that stuff isn't in the what you call "sanitized western bible" you should probably spend the 10 minutes reading the couple of chapters that deal with the time leading up to Noah to make sure you know what you are talking about

He's likely referencing the material from the Book of Enoch. Though saying it was 'sanitized' from the Western Bible is pretty incorrect. A lot of old Jewish texts were largely unknown to the early Christian Chruch (and too most Jews for that matter).
