Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly are set to star in Creation, a film based on the life of On the Origin of Species author Charles Darwin. Bettany will play Darwin and Connelly will play his wife and cousin, Emma; the film will explore the relationship between the two as Darwin’s beliefs began to cause friction with Emma’s Anglicanism. Creation will be directed by Jon Amiel and produced by Jeremy Thomas with a script by John Collee. Between the three of them, there is some pretty amazing pedigree here, from The Last Emperor all the way to Master and Commander. Filming is scheduled to start later this month in England.

Surprised there hasn't been a movie about Darwin's life until now.

The movie should start out in b&w photos and end in 3D.

Yeah I know. I mean, how is this face not marketable?

Here is a trailer (http://www.awardsdaily.com/?p=9974).

Visually, it reminds me of The Piano.

Hopefully the script isn't as didactic as one would presume.

You're becoming an awful poster of late.

The acting seems nicely unstuffy for a period film, but this film is at great risk of being terribly dull and mushy.

That trailer looked pretty good. Not as good as this though which is below it in the comments area:

Eh, I thought the trailer looked boring. Hopefully, the film packs more of a punch.
