\"\"<\/a>We live in an age when studios don\u2019t just release teasers and trailers for their movies, they also release sneak previews of the teasers and trailers themselves. And so it came to pass that, today, the Entertainment Tonight<\/i> website released an 18-second clip from the trailer for Darren Aronofsky\u2019s Noah<\/a><\/i>, the full version of which will apparently premiere on the show tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The puzzling thing is, the website might have un<\/i>-released the preview, too. Their search engine says it should be viewable here<\/a>, but every time I try to go to that URL, I get redirected to their home page and there is a \u201cpage not found\u201d message in the new URL.<\/p>\n

However, the embed code that various other sites are using still seems to work, so you can watch the preview for yourself below the jump (warning: you may or may not first have to watch an ad that may or may not be longer than the preview itself).<\/p>\n

Most of the footage here was already included in the trailer that has been playing at church conferences for the past few months (a pirated version of which is still<\/i> viewable at Gawker<\/a>, over three weeks after it went online). However, there are<\/i> a few new bits in the preview released today, including a shot of the entire planet covered in storms and hurricanes, which suggests that this film will view the ancient story through a modern cosmology<\/a> just as this year\u2019s mini-series The Bible<\/a><\/i> did.<\/p>\n

Here is the shot-from-space in the Noah<\/i> trailer:<\/p>\n

Update:<\/b> Well that was fast. Within seconds of writing this, the embed code stopped working, too. However, the footage has<\/i> already been re-posted to YouTube:<\/p>\n
