Creation, the Charles Darwin biopic starring A Beautiful Mind stars Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, has been in release limbo for a while due to the fact that no distributor — for whatever reason — wanted to touch it. Directed by The Core helmer Jon Amiel, Creation stars Bettany and Connelly as Darwin and wife Emma in a movie that met bland to negative reactions from the Toronto International Film Festival.
Now, according to Variety, Newmarket Films, the distributor of Passion of the Christ, has picked up the film and slotted it for a December release. Thus, sooner rather than later we’ll be able to see if the film, scripted by John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) is any good.
Little known fact: Connelly and Bettany are real life husband and wife. That, and between Creation, Legion and Priest, every film Bettany is involved with at the time being — with the exception of Iron Man 2 — has religious connotations.
