From
Academy-Award-and-Golden-Globe-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Black
Swan, The Wrestler), Ari Handel, and Niko Henrichon (Pride of
Baghdad) comes a fresh retelling of Noah’s Ark. Set in a fantastical world,
NOAH tells the epic story of one man’s quest to preserve life for a new world.
The graphic novel is based on the first draft of the screenplay for the feature
film, Noah. Noah, directed by Aronofsky, and starring
Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, and Anthony Hopkins, hits
theaters in March 2014.
“It has been
a great thrill to see an artist of Niko’s caliber interpret the Noah screenplay
through his own vision,” said Aronofsky. “The results are lavish. This take on
the story is from the original screenplay Ari and I wrote, before we began the
long process of shaping the story for the big screen. So it is a slightly
different take on the material. This book, not merely a movie companion piece,
will hopefully give readers a rare insight into the creative process.”
This is
Henrichon’s first major work since he teamed up with Brian K. Vaughan to create
the critically acclaimed Pride of Baghdad. His signature style of
sweeping, majestic panoramas lend an otherworldly quality to the pre-Flood
world’s environment.
NOAH retells
the story of the Sisyphian task that Noah is charged with of building an Ark
large and safe enough to save a select group of humans and animals. Noah must
evade the wicked forces that would see him fail and leave the world to ruin.
NOAH, which arrives in stores on March 18, 2014 and will
be available for $29.99. NOAH can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code JAN140537,
ISBN: 978-1-60706-853-2.
