Trailer - Paul Bettany as Charles Darwin in 'Creation'

This year is the bicentennial of Charles Darwin, the father of the Theory of Evolution. Little known fact: He was also the father of the original pogo stick. Perhaps if they make a sequel to Creation... Yes, the film with the ironic title is about Darwin's discovery and his personal and professional struggles to stand by arguably the single most important scientific notion between gravity and relativity. Paul Bettany plays Darwin and Jennifer Connelly, conveniently, portrays his wife. I've been a Bettany fan since A Knight's Tale, and he has a knack of being better than the material. Usually, it just doesn't say much for the material, but I sure hope the scripts catch up to him sooner than later. Here's the first trailer for Creation: The film opens in the U.K. this September, with a U.S. release still undetermined.

I agree. He was awesome as Chaucer in A Knight's Tale, right? He steals every scene he's in. Looking forward to this one.
