If you heathens think that Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky’s Noah project isn’t Clatto material, the casting of Jennifer Connelly should give you two reasons to reconsider … two beautiful, creamy white reasons.

Another reason is that the biblical story of Noah involves an angry God drowning humanity with a global flood, leaving Noah and his family and their zoo stranded on a big ship until Kevin Costner grows gills and swims out to discover land while Dennis Hopper chases him on a jetski.

Connelly will play Noah’s wife Naameh. The film reunites the Academy Award winning stunner with Aronofsky, who directed her in the meth drama Requiem for a Dream, in which her character performs a memorable lesbian ass-to-ass dildo scene.

Noah also re-teams Connelly with her Beautiful Mind costar Russell Crow, who plays the biblical icon. Teen up-and-comer Saoirse Ronan is also said to be on Aronofsky’s radar for a supporting role.

Paramount has set a March 28, 2014 release date for Noah with production slated to start in July.
