Synopsis:
CREATION is the powerful and true-life tale of Charles
Darwin and the most explosive idea in history.
A world-renowned scientist, and a dedicated family man
struggling to accept his daughter’s death, Darwin is torn
between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own
growing belief in a world where God has no place. He finds
himself caught in a battle between faith and reason, love and
truth. This is the extraordinary story of Charles Darwin and
how his master-work “The Origin of Species” came to light. It
tells of a global revolution played out in the confines of a
small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the
most provocative idea in history – evolution; and a theory
saved from extinction by the logic of a child.
Charles Darwin is played by acclaimed British actor Paul
Bettany (The Da Vinci Code, Master and Commander: The Far Side
of the World, A Beautiful Mind, Inkheart), and his wife Emma
Darwin is played by his real-life wife, Academy Award winner
Jennifer Connelly (Blood Diamond, A Beautiful Mind, Requiem
For a Dream, The Day the Earth Stood Still). Directed by Jon
Amiel (Entrapment, Copycat, Sommersby, The Core,) from a
screenplay by John Collee (Master and the Commander: The Far
Side of the World, Happy Feet), CREATION is based upon Randal
Keynes’ book, ‘Annie’s Box’, about the life of his great great
grandfather, Charles Darwin.
