“[Noah was the] first environmentalist. [The] first person to plant vineyards, drink wine and get drunk. I was stunned going back and realizing how dirty some of those [Bible] stories are. They’re not PG in any way. They’re all about sleeping with your brother’s sister who gives you a child who you don’t know. That kind of stuff got censored out of our religious upbringing.”
Darren Aronofsky Planning Noah’s Ark Movie | Screen Rant.
So a new movie is being planned…. about Noah, but with a more adults-only take. This is possible, although we’ll see.
But it got me to thinking… I would like to see a scene in the movie like this one:
But with Noah and Gilgamesh…
Just think… two arks…. floating by…. one with Noah and the other with Gilgamesh… shouting – “Plagiarist!”
