Christian Bale to possibly board Aronofsky's 'Noah'

Although director Darren Aronofsky is busy trying to gather funding for his future take on the story of Noah's Ark, First Showing is reporting that he is at work trying to attach actor Christian Bale to the project as well.

While the ambitious project is currently set up at New Regency, the $130 million needed to get this thing off of the ground will require the help from another studio, and Aronofsky is currently shopping the film around town.

If Aronofsky is able to secure Bale, who is still a hot item after snatching an Oscar for his role in "The Fighter," it should make his pursuit for more funding a bit easier.
