Anthony Hopkins Boards Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah'

Darren Aronofsky has revealed (via Twitter) that Anthony Hopkins has been cast as Methuselah, Noah's grandfather, in Noah. Hopkins joins an impressive ensemble that includes Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Ray Winstone. Set for March 28, 2014, Noah "is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood."
