Russell Crowe Looks Appropriately Grizzled in First 'Noah' Picture

Take a look at some first pictures of the actor from the upcoming biblical tale

Need someone grizzled and gutsy with his own special brand of gravitas to play your major Biblical hero? Look no further than Russell Crowe, which is exactly what filmmaker Darren Aronofsky did for the huge undertaking that is his "Noah." Aronofsky has been trying to get the project going for years (he's even confessed that this is the film he's wanted to make since he was a child), so the story of Noah and the flood is of obviously huge importance to him.

USA Today has an exclusive first look at Crowe in character (to the right), and yup, he looks nice and dirty and tired and a bit put out. Perfect!

The film also stars Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Douglas Booth, Emma Watson, and Logan Lerman.

The film is set to open on March 28, 2014.

Does Russell Crowe look like God talks to him? No. Scott Roeder, or Jared Loughner (or maybe Jerry Falwell), is what you look like when God talks to you.

What's more, Crowe doesn't look 600 years old, either. He doesn't look a day over 50, if you want to know the Truth.
