Variety reports actress Jennifer Connelly has entered talks to reunite with former A Beautiful Mind co-star Russell Crowe as his wife in Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, his much-hyped take on the well-known biblical tale. Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Douglas Boot have already been cast in the production.

Aronofsky has reportedly been courting Connelly for months over the role, even allowing her to sit in on script reads long before Crowe was cast, but she delivered no formal offer before Monday. The film is set to wash ashore American soil on March 28th 2014 – so there’s plenty of time for more casting announcements.
