Aronofsky has built an impressive cast for his follow-up to "Black Swan." Aside from Crowe, he's added his "Requiem for a Dream" star Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, Ray Winstone as the film's villain, Anthony Hopkins as the world's oldest man, Methuselah, and young up-and-comer named Emma Watson.

The first image comes more than a year and a half before "Noah" actually reaches screens, so you'll have to wait quite a while before you get to see the entire epic.

"Noah" is scheduled to weather the storm on March 28, 2014.
