Tom Cruise was attached to star for a time. The script was originally written by Tony Gilroy (Rogue One, The Bourne Legacy). Right now, the director of Spider-Man: Homecoming Jon Watts is in talks to helm the film's production. Admittedly, I was kind of hoping that Noah would usher in a new era of big weird bible movies. Until that same year when Ridley Scott's pretentious ass ran it to the ground with Exodus: Gods and Kings.

I think now, what with CGI, they really could adapt the stranger stories from the Old Testament. I'm surprised (well not really) no one aside from Aronofsky's taken a crack at it.

Maybe this will incorporate Genesis chapter 6,

6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Verse 4 has always fascinated me. The setting would be about right for Methusaleh.
