In the Beginning to bring Adam & Eve's leaf-covered junk to you in 3D
Mar. 9, 2010
Would you like to see Eve's boobs in glorious 3D?
I know I would, though I probably won't get my wish because IN THE BEGINNING, the new film from former Walden Media co-founder Cary Granat (THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE), is being aimed squarely at "family- and faith-based audiences". And they don't <3 boobs last I checked.
According to Deadline's Mike Fleming, IN THE BEGINNING will be a 3D telling of the story of creation, using The Book of Genesis as the primary resource. The film already has a script from writer John Fusco (HIDALGO, YOUNG GUNS) and will be directed by David Cunningham (THE SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING, "The Path to 9/11").
Fleming goes on and gives more details on the proposed project: "I'm told the $30 million film will use 3-D visuals to transform the oft-told tale into a spectacle that the filmmakers hope will attract family- and faith-based audiences that flocked to The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, that first Chronicles of Narnia installment made on Granat’s Walden watch. I hear Granat pitched the film by claiming that the Adam And Eve story has never really been told by a feature film. (At least not since John Huston.)"
$30 million? With a budget like that, I doubt this will be the 2012 of Bible movies we all wish it could be.

Extra Tidbit: The John Huston film Fleming alludes to in the quote above is the 1966 film THE BIBLE: IN THE BEGINNING, directed by Huston and starring Huston as Noah.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that those cast as Adam and Eve will be as white as the teeth of the amicable goons in the picture...
I also have a sneaking suspicion that those cast as Adam and Eve will be as white as the teeth of the amicable goons in the picture you've posted, since staying true to the "primary resource" rarely involves consideration of the primary culture.
But yeah with a budget that low and an inevitable abundance of CGI, Eden might end up looking like a Windows 98 screensaver anyway.

So, as usual, there will be no mention of Adam's first wife, Lilith, who was banished from Eden for refusing to obey him? Shite.
