\"\"<\/a>Yes, this is my fourth Noah<\/a><\/i>-themed post in 24 hours. What can I say, things are ramping up.<\/p>\n

The latest item is an Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/i> article in which Darren Aronofsky and his co-writer Ari Handel discuss the graphic novel that comes out March 18 (the same day as the two novelizations<\/a>). Along with a few quotes from both writers, Entertainment Weekly<\/i> also has the North American cover art for the graphic novel, which is just slightly different from the cover art that accompanied the Image Comics announcement last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One thing Aronofsky mentions in the article is that he actually started developing Noah<\/i> with a movie studio (which he doesn\u2019t identify) over a decade ago, and the project even started to \u201cpick up steam around 2006\u201d \u2014 but then a regime change at the studio scuttled everyone\u2019s plans. (Although he doesn\u2019t mention it, the fact that Aronofsky\u2019s The Fountain<\/a><\/i> stalled at the box office around that time, and that Universal was preparing its own Noah-themed Evan Almighty<\/a><\/i> for release in 2007, might have also contributed to the studio\u2019s cold feet.)<\/p>\n

So, all this time I thought Aronofsky had commissioned the graphic novel to stimulate interest in a movie that had not yet been developed, when in fact he commissioned it to save aspects of a movie that had already been abandoned.<\/p>\n

In other news, the British website Total Film<\/a> has released two new \u201ccharacter posters\u201d for the film that are basically derived from the international poster that was unveiled last Thursday<\/a>. They\u2019re not particularly original or creative \u2014 and they totally give in to the teal-and-orange aesthetic that has dominated too many films these days \u2014 but hey, new graphics are new graphics. You can check them out below.<\/p>\n
