The human side of Charles Darwin will be portrayed in an upcoming movie called “Creation,” based on Randall Keynes’ book, “Annie’s Box.” (Keynes is Darwin’s great-great grandson.) The film will portray Darwin as man who is struggling to balance his agnosticism, his love for his deeply religious wife and making sense of the death of their daughter, Annie.
Actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, who are married in real life, will play Darwin and his wife, Emma.
John Collee’s compelling script will help viewers understand the personal life behind the man who laid the foundation for the theory of evolution.
The movie is scheduled to be released later this year.
