Big Premiere

'Noah'

The word: Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky takes the reins on this biblical epic. Shying away from cutesy Sunday school depictions, this film casts Noah as a hard-line zealot, grimly willing to let the entire Earth's population drown. Early word says this film brings Aronofsky's history-fantasy blend ala "The Fountain" in lieu of pure Scripture.

Details: "Noah" premieres Friday at theaters nationwide, including Regal Westminster 9. For show time information, call 410-857-1422.
