I must admit I've kinda expected this to happen: according to "Vulture"
Darren Aronofsky's new $130 million epic project
NOAH has possibly found it's lead man in
Christian Bale, which is logical since such an expensive project does need a star of Bale's caliber. It would also help Aronofsky to find money at the major studios. As you remember, based on a graphic novel, this dark fantasy epic will bring a more grim, gritty, edgy and shocking version of the famous Biblical story of Noah who gathered all the animal species on his ark before the Flood.
