Creation, a biopic centering on the life of naturalist Charles Darwin, has been released in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, its been a long and hard journey to find distribution in the U.S. despite the film’s stars Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly. Many have speculated that a movie that focuses on Darwin, will be too controversial for a country so heavily influenced by religion.
Over a Collider they just released a ton of photos from films that will be premiering over at the Toronto Film Festival. The first batch of photos that we are posting are from two upcoming period pieces. The first is Creation starring Paul Bettany as Charles Darwin and Jennifer Connelly as his religious and yet faithful wife. The second is Bright Star starring Ben Whishaw as John Keats and Abbie Cornish as his inspiration for his poem (you guessed it) “Bright Star.”

Paul Bettany is Charles Darwin in the upcoming film Creation, and thanks to Empire Online we have an exclusive look at the Darwin biopic for you. I couldn’t be more excited about this film — the cast is amazing, and the props and costumes seem extra original not to mention that the story is based on one of humankind’s most historical and controversial figures. (Take a look at the Creation trailer.)
The photos below show Bettany as Mr. Darwin, Jennifer Connelly as his religious wife Emma, Martha West as their daughter Annie and Jeremy Northam as Reverend Innes.
