The Best Selling Book Gets A Movie

When it comes to the best-selling books of all-time, one would think that titles like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, A Wrinkle In Time, The Chronicles of Narnia, or any title from Stephen King would be high up on that list.

In March of 2014, the story of Noah from the Bible gets its own movie.  It has taken fire from Christians, Athiests, and pretty much everyone in between in how it will depict the biblical story, but whether you believe Noah and the Great Flood is fact, fiction, or somewhere in the middle, most people agree that the first trailer released for the film looks quite intriguing...




It really looks like director Darren Aronofsky is taking this seriously, as it contains a star-studded cast including the likes of...

Russell Crowe (playing Noah):


Anthony Hopkins (playing Methusalah, supposedly the oldest man who ever lived, clocking in at 969 years):


Emma Watson ("Hermoine" from Harry Potter fame):


It is still a ways away yet, but something to potentially look forward to!
