When, in the opening minutes of Natatorium, a fresh-faced teen arrives at a blocky modernist showplace of a house, it seems she’s checking in to a swanky Airbnb. But the well-appointed dwelling, where an oppressively dark glacial blue predominates, turns out to be the unwholesome home of the grandparents she hasn’t seen in years. Estrangement and silence are the guiding principles within this hermetically sealed universe, which, as the title of Helena Stefánsdóttir’s drama indicates, contains an indoor swimming pool. “Don’t go into the basement” would be a handy subtitle. Not that the upper floors offer much refuge.
In a movie that ultimately centers on a trinity of female kin at cross-purposes — visiting Lilja, her formidable grandmother and moderately rebellious aunt — the 18-year-old outsider is the catalyst for the revelations and unraveling to come. Traveling from her island home, Lilja (Ilmur María Arnarsdóttir) arrives in the city by bus,...

Darren Aronofsky’s Noah has wrapped filming, but we still haven’t seen all that much that provides a solid look at the film. There were a few pictures of the main cast in character, but that was just about it – until today. We still don’t have any footage, but we do have the best look we could hope for at the phenomenally beautiful locations where the film was shot.
This series of more than 20 photos is made up mostly of shots of the landscapes where filming took place, but there are a couple new looks at the cast and various members of the production units. Unlike most set photos that hit the web, these are official, coming from the unit photographer, meaning they’re actually high quality pictures. Part of the film was shot in Iceland, and that’s where most of these photos were snapped. If this...

Darren Aronofsky’s biblical epic Noah doesn’t hit theaters until Spring of 2014, but its filming in Iceland provided us with quite a few looks at the A-list cast in character. Today, we’ve got even better shots than we’ve seen before, with images highlighting Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins, and more.
These new images (which we’ve collected and put in a gallery for you at the bottom of the page) are in an aspect ratio usually reserved for posters, and honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if these same pictures will be hanging in your local theater sometime later this year. All these images are of poster quality and would make for great promotional pieces, especially the image of Russell Crowe as Noah.
In addition to Crowe, Watson, and Hopkins, the other actors featured in these images are Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone and Logan Lerman. That...

First of all, I hope these photos wouldn’t be removed at the request of the studio. Many thanks Paramount!
Darren Aronofsky‘s big-budget take on Bible story won’t exactly be a run-of-the-mill period piece – four set photos giving us first look at Logan Lerman, Madison Davenport and Aronofsky on the set of Upper Brookville, NY, drive that point home. I have to say it’s hardly Biblical enough.
Images give us a peek at some of the film’s costumes. Lerman plays one of Noah’s sons, Ham, and Davenport plays Ham’s wife Na’el, respectfully.
There will be, of course, plenty of time for a better shot of Noah, himself (Russell Crowe), or a snapshot of Ark he’s going to have to build to rescue all of the animals.
Also starring Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone, Douglas Booth, Barry Sloane, Mark Margolis,...

Percy Jackson is getting dirty. With his Iceland shoot concluded, Darren Aronofsky has taken to the majestic land known as Long Island to continue shooting his big-budget take on Noah. We got an official look at our lead Russell Crowe a few weeks ago, but now it’s time for some set photos. Featured below one can see a battered Logan Lerman in the role of Noah’s son Ham and his young wife Madison Davenport as Na’el.
We also get a look at our Black Swan director with his trusty scarf talking to Lerman, who just happens to be sitting in a chair that reveals our first logo treatment for the film. While that’s likely to change, it’s certainly nice to see Aronofsky hard at work on his biggest undertaking thus far. Check out the photos above and below thanks to Olv.

Heading from ballerinas to the bible, Darren Aronofsky is currently in production on his largest undertaking yet, the tale of Noah. We’ve seen him build the ark and now it’s time for the first look at the man himself, played by Russell Crowe. Below one can see a bit of his weathered costume as the New Zealand-born Australian actor plays his usual rugged self. Crowe has a major next few years coming up with this film, WB’s Man of Steel, and this fall’s Les Misérables. Check out the still below via USA Today.
Co-written by Ari Handel and Aronofsky, the film portrays the titular Biblical hero as “a man who loves Earth and all of its animal inhabitants, but has become disillusioned with the way humans have treated their planet.” It is also said to focus on Noah’s alcoholic tendencies, but it won’t go the usual dark Aronofsky mile,...
