The latest TV spot for Noah, starring Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins, reveals an inevitable battle.

In Noah’s latest TV spot for this weekend’s Super Bowl, Russell Crowe tells a concerned Emma Watson that “this is the beginning.” New footage from the Darren Aronofsky film continues to feel rather epic and it looks as though there will be a massive battle leading up to the great flood.

A poster for the film landed online yesterday, featuring Russell Crowe wielding an axe – appearing ready for a battle prior to his and his family’s journey on the Ark.

The story centers around the title character’s mission to save his family after seeing visions of an inevitable apocalypse. Director Darren Aronofsky and Russell Crowe have promised an edgier take on the biblical tale.

Russell Crowe has said that Noah is more of an anti-hero than audiences might expect, and from what we’ve seen so far, the film looks more like an epic action film than we’d normally expect from the director.

We’re excited to see what this caliber of director is able to do with the tale of Noah. Aronofsky’s most recent film, Black Swan, went on to grab an Academy Award for Natalie Portman’s brilliant portrayal of a disturbed ballerina.

Noah is set to hit theaters March 28, 2014.
