Russell Crowe

Yeah.

What I thought was the funniest thing with that stuff is when that movie came out, all of this sort of pushback press about how, you know, look at this, Darren Aronofsky, this New York elite, has made Noah into a story about the environment.

It's always been a story about the environment.

What are you talking about?

This is about a flood, mate.

Literally.

It was just so weird.

And it was like article after article pushing back as if he had done something, you know, against Christianity or whatever by acknowledging that this is a story about our environment and how we treat our environment and blah, blah, blah, you know.

Yeah, I quite enjoy the film, but it's harsh.

It's a harsh telling.

But he did promise me, Darren, at the beginning of that experience, he said never at any stage, which I thought was funny, because he was riffing off a thing that Ridley Scott did.

Ridley Scott said, I promise you don't have to wear sandals and I promise you you never have to lie on a couch and have somebody feed you a grape.

So let's do a movie, a Roman movie.

So Darren's version was that never at any stage will I have you at the prow of an ark flanked by a giraffe and a lion.

The funny thing with Noah, man, is most people think they know what's in the Bible.

But in reality, what most people know is what they read in the Golden Circle Children's Book of Noah.

They've never read the very few mentions that there are in the Bible or the other books.

religious writings which cover his story because there are other writings from pre-biblical that never made it into the Bible.

Right.

Yeah.
