In her latest tweets, Emma appears to confirm her involvement in Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. She first retweeted a couple of tweets from Russell Crowe (cast as Noah), and then followed with a tweet of her own.
@russellcrowe – I haven’t been approached by anyone to play Rupert Murdoch. That’s just a beat up.I am off to build a boat.Will be gone for quite some time.
@russellcrowe – no sails, no engine, runs purely on faith…does it bug anyone else that Noah’s sons are named in the bible…but not his wife…#re-write
@EmWatson – Very very excited for Noah.
Emma will reportedly “play Ila, a young woman who develops a close relationship with Noah’s son, Shem”, played by Douglas Booth. Other cast includes Emma’s Perks co-star Logan Lerman as Noah’s son Ham, and Jennifer Connelly as Noah’s wife, Naameh.
Shooting begins this August in New York.
yay 🙂
Yes! Another confirmed project for Emma. I can’t wait to hear more about this movie when they start production 🙂
They are supposed to start rehearsals on July 20.
So…you want to re write the bible so it suits YOU!
The comment about a rewrite was from Russell Crowe. And no, I don’t think he is advocating re-writing the bible. I think that’s been done enough. But the character of Noah’s wife needs a name in the movie.
i am really happy to know that emma is a part one more project & i am really looking forward 4 new movie.
