\"\"<\/a>Fifty days before the movie\u2019s release, we have even more<\/i> new Noah<\/a><\/i> footage, courtesy of two new spots created for eastern European television. (What was that I said last night<\/a> about the film getting a lot more advertising overseas than it has, so far, in North America?)<\/p>\n

As always, you can watch the videos \u2014 each of which is about 30 seconds \u2014 and look at screencaps of all the new images below the jump. Alas, because the dialogue has been dubbed in a foreign language, I have no idea what the new soundbites are \u2014 but if anyone out there can translate them for me, I\u2019d be much obliged!<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the new TV ads both carry a \u201c12+\u201d tag in the lower left corner of the screen during the early bits, which suggests that the film is complete enough that it has already been rated in some countries.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here are the videos:<\/p>\n

And here are the screencaps of the new shots. (Screencaps of the shots that we already saw in the earlier trailers can be seen at the blog posts linked at the bottom of this post.) Instead of grouping the new shots by trailer, I\u2019m going to group them by theme \u2014 and the first theme is that of Noah\u2019s family before<\/i> they build the Ark:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Given how young Noah\u2019s children are in this shot, I\u2019m guessing this comes from the earlier part of the film, too:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The magically-sprouting forest that we saw in the earlier trailers is here linked very closely to a mountain that we have also seen in the earlier trailers:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here are two new shots of Noah and Naameh standing in that forest:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a shot I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve seen before, from the construction of the Ark:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rain begins to fall, and Methuselah looks up:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there are the more violent scenes, in which Tubal-Cain leads an assault on the Ark and Noah fights back. Here is Tubal-Cain, advancing with his men:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here are some shots of Noah fighting back:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally the Flood arrives and the Ark rises to the water\u2019s surface, and it looks like some of Tubal-Cain\u2019s men float past the scaffolding that is left behind:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because this next shot is linked, in the trailer, to shots of the Watchers falling to Earth and the like, I suspect that it comes from the sequence in which the Flood is already well under way, and Noah and his family are aboard the Ark, and Noah tells them the story of Creation and the Fall<\/a>, to explain why the Flood was necessary:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are some other shots that I can\u2019t quite place, but it\u2019s worth noting that one of the TV spots ends with this image of Noah, which \u2014 based on the hair alone (its length, its colour) \u2014 would seem to place this shot sometime after<\/i> the Flood:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, the miscellaneous shots, the last two of which seem familiar to me but not that<\/i> familiar, which leads me to think that these TV ads used slightly different sections of these shots than the earlier trailers did:<\/p>\n
