Sandy halts production of Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah'Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky likely didn’t expect a real-life superstorm to shut down production of “Noah.” The Russell Crowe-starrer, about a man who builds an ark to survive an impending flood, is one of many New York-based projects affected by Sandy. Emma Watson, who co-stars in the film, put it best when she tweeted:
According to the Los Angeles Times, one of the arks that Aronofsky’s production team built, which measures 450 feet long, 75 feet tall and 45 feet wide, sits in the water at New York’s Oyster Bay. There’s no word yet on the status of the floating set. Aronofsky, who tweeted about his plan to weather the storm indoors and watch “a few flicks” on Monday night, later wrote:
Meanwhile, Matthew Libatique, a cinematographer working on “Noah,” recently posted:
Other people have reached out to the men via Twitter, writing, “are you guys shooting B roll?” and “at least it's good inspiration for #Noah. But seriously, stay safe.” “Noah” is due in theaters on March 28, 2014.

How ironic, to stop filming a story about flooding the Earth, when hurricane Sandy got a good start.
Yep, that's sort of why the article was written: to point out the irony. Good job catching it.
Russell is not only a wonderful actor in films but i believe he has a huge heart. He strikes me as very intense
Funny, he usually just strikes people with telephones.
do you have your box ready to have delivered to these poor souls who have nothing because of that disgusting hurricane?
I do–MYOB
I hear he is a very interesting man who is lots of fun and is very smart, a man i would like to meet.

Wow – thanks for being the judge & jury of all humanity in your comment. Why be so angry about what you presume? I applaud what you've done – excellent & compassionate.
People should not compare sandy 2 gods biblical times people need to be ready when judgement day is here how about that and pray on everyone is rididcioulous in this world.
tarah, you need to learn that periods don't just come from your hoo-hoo, but they're a form of punctuation, too! Learn to use 'em. And I'm not even going to start on "rididcioulous."
How irionic when we have the hurricane off the century. You plan to make this movie. I do not think people want to see a movie like that right now.
SAM- I've made a statement in the other blog–MYOB–

To "here's one". It's sad you feel the need to tell everyone how charitable you are.
His beliefs are his own business...i've always been interested in him as a man.
is an amazing actor and still very interested in him.
Amazing how after these Australian actors show what real life @holes they truly are,Then turn to religious roles.
You guys are so funny!
Ark! Ark! Ark!
Praise God things didn't get worse! hopefully they can make the movie close to the story of the prophet.
Why is there a turd on my kitchen table?
You have got to stop sitting on your table.
Great tweet! To God be the glory in all things !
Every time someone says racism doesn't exist.....I say "Just look at any blog or comment section on any website.....lol
Lose the anonymity and watch you scatter like roaches.....
Stick yo pickle in yo a$$!
Sounds interesting.
God, they make this movie every two years! Hopefully, Noah will forget to put a colored man and woman on-board this time, and the new world will be colored-people free!
They bes animals!
Abuse reported.
did you put the turd on Skippy's table?
Mammy is the turd on skippys table.
i can help him build up an ark
"about a man who builds an arc"...how about a man who builds an ark? Two different things there.
Thanks for catching that typo! All fixed
Poor Emma Watson. She is so nice and wonderful. I feel bad for her having to be around Russel Crowe. Hopefully he won't hit her or worse.
