"From director Jon Amiel (The Singing Detective, Entrapment) and writer John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) comes CREATION. A psychological, heart-wrenching love story starring Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) as Charles Darwin, the film is based on “Annie’s Box,” a biography penned by Darwin’s great-great-grandson Randal Keynes using personal letters and diaries of the Darwin family. We take a unique and inside look at Darwin, his family and his love for his deeply religious wife, played by Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream) , as, torn between faith and science, Darwin struggles to finish his legendary book “On the Origin of Species,” which goes on to become the foundation for evolutionary biology. The film co-stars Toby Jones (Frost/Nixon, Infamous) and Jeremy Northam (Gosford Park, Amistad) , and was produced by Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor, Sexy Beast) at Recorded Picture Company with BBC Films and Ocean Pictures."

ReplyDeleteI love movies of the historical genre and this one looks particularly interesting both in subject matter (very controversial) and visuals. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Great giveaway - thanks! Looks like a great movie that both my husband and I would enjoy....I don't think we've been to the movies since my first son was born more than three years ago!

I would like to see it because I just read an article on Paul Bettany and his wife (who stars alongside him) and they were talking about how they had different views on religion, just as the characters in the movie do. I think it would be very interesting to see a part of their lives played out on screen. Plus, they are both amazing actors!

I would love to see Creation because it would be the first chance at a date night with my husband since we had our baby. He is now 6 months old, so it has been a REALLY long time since we've done anything alone together. Thank you :)
