Hairy, isn’t he?
The photo here is from a story in last Thursday’s USA Today on Evan Almighty, the upcoming sequel to Bruce Almighty (2003) which stars Steve Carrell — who may be best-known as The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) — as a modern-day Noah.

The Saudi Arabian movie industry is heating up, and now comes word that a studio owned by the Saudi government is developing a film about the discovery of Noah’s Ark.
Nine years after Evan Almighty and two years after Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, the steady stream of Noah-themed projects shows no sign of abating. There was the South African musical Unogumbe in 2013 and the BBC TV-movie The Ark in 2015, and now the NBC network is planning a show that would set the Noah story… in space!
Darren Aronofsky is in Paris right now, taking part in a massive art project for the climate talks there, and the New York Times posted a short blurb yesterday in which he referred to the environmental themes of his most recent movie, Noah:

Yet another animated film about Noah’s Ark, told from the point of view of the animals, is in the works. In fact, according to Variety, it is already pretty much finished, and will premiere in Germany this summer before going elsewhere.
The film is called Ooops! Noah Is Gone… and it concerns two creatures called Nestrians — a father and a son — who are not allowed on the Ark but sneak aboard anyway with the involuntary help of a mother and daughter called Grymps. The kids end up falling overboard, and it’s up to their parents to turn the Ark around and save them from all the predators out there.
Unified Pictures announced today that John Stevenson, one of the directors of the original Kung Fu Panda, will direct an animated version of Noah’s Ark for them, and that the film will be completed two years from now, in 2016.
None of that is news, though, to anyone who has been following this film. Stevenson’s involvement with the film was first announced in March 2013, and Unified Pictures has been saying the film will be ready in two years ever since it was first announced in 2007. Maybe what’s new now is that Stevenson will direct the film by himself; today’s press release makes no mention of Cameron Hood, who was announced as co-director last year.
