Christian Bale Would Make a Very Edgy Noah, Thinks Darren Aronofsky

With studios still apprehensive about giving Darren Aronofsky $130 million dollars to make a Noah's Ark movie--after all, last time someone agreed to do that, they ended up spending $175 million on surrounding Steve Carell with CGI animals, and then that movie was no good--the director is now reportedly trying to sweeten the deal by attaching Christian Bale to his film. Vulture claims Aronofsky is now in talks with the actor to play the 600-year-old title hero in Noah, said to be an "edgy re-telling" of the familiar biblical tale. Let's hope Bale agrees, because I sure want to hear a Batman growl ordering giraffes onto a boat.
