Today, Paramount is releasing Darren Aronofsky’s Noah on Blu-ray.  Adapted from the Book of Genesis, this version has Noah (Russell Crowe) foretold the world will be destroyed through dreams of death and rising water.  Noah is chosen by the Creator to build an ark that will house two of each animal and protect his wife Naameh (Jennifer Connelly) and their sons Ham (Logan Lerman) and Japheth (Leo McHugh Carroll), as well as Shem (Douglas Booth) and his partner Ila (Emma Watson).

This is a film that encourages people to talk, a conversation that will span multiple faiths and has already sparked new interest in the story.  For these reasons, Noah is a bold, ambitious and often thrilling retelling of the biblical story, rich with complex characters and haunting visuals.  Please read my full thoughts on the film right here.

The Blu-ray includes several featurettes on the production.

Noah is 137 minutes and rated PG.
