Synopsis
Based on the life of Charles Darwin , the man behind the most famous and explosive work of scientific literature of all time, Jam and Icon Film Distribution are proud to release the official UK trailer for the highly anticipated film CREATION.
Starring Paul Bettany (THE YOUNG VICTORIA, INK HEART, THE DA VINCI CODE) as Charles Darwin, Jennifer Connelly (HE'S JUST NOT THAT IN TO YOU, INKHEART, BLOOD DIAMOND) as Emma Darwin, and Jeremy Northam (THE INVASION, ENIGMA) as Reverend Innes.
Darwin's great, still controversial, book on The Origin of Species depicts nature as a battleground. In CREATION the battleground is a man's heart. Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, Darwin finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth.
The Darwin we meet in CREATION is a young, vibrant father, husband and friend whose mental and physical health gradually buckles under the weight of guilt and grief for a lost child. Ultimately it is Annie (Martha West), his adored 10 year-old daughter, who leads him out of darkness and helps him reconnect with his wife and family. Only then is he able to create the book that changed the world.
