New pictures, music, and a dialogue clip at the Noah website

New pictures, music, and a dialogue clip at the Noah website February 27, 2014

Curious to know what Clint Mansell’s score for Darren Aronofsky’s Noah sounds like? You can get a taste of it now — just a taste, alas — courtesy of a page called ‘Beginnings’ at the movie’s website.

Interestingly, the website features some text that underscores the biblical “wickedness” theme that came up in the most recent trailer and TV spot for the film, but it also includes a bit of dialogue from Russell Crowe’s Noah that hints at the darker themes that have worried some people.

The scrolling text is basically a paraphrase of Genesis 6:5-7:

The Wickedness of Man
was great in the world,
with only evil residing in their hearts

And this grieved
the Creator.

So the Creator decided to destroy
his ruined creations,
both man and beast, for he
was sad that he had made them.

To Noah, he gave the instruction
“Build yourself an Ark…”

And the dialogue we hear from Russell Crowe’s Noah is this:

This time there will be no men. If we were to re-enter the Garden again, it would only be to destroy it once more. No. The Creator has judged us. Mankind must end.

The images that play behind these words and beneath this audio clip are mostly taken from the existing trailers, though there are a few new shots of ominous stormclouds and the like, as well as a rapid-fire montage of people holding weapons.

And speaking of images, Aronofsky has tweeted several paintings and whatnot from the upcoming art show Fountains of the Deep: Visions of Noah and the Flood, which opens March 7. Just to make things interesting, Paramount Pictures is now also inviting fans to upload their own Noah-inspired art to the movie’s Facebook page.
