Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly are slated to star as Charles and Emma Darwin in upcoming biopic, rechristened "Creation," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The real-life husband-and-wife duo are scheduled to begin shooting at the end the month in England. The director is Jon Amiel, of TV's "The Tudors" and 1999's "Entrapment."
According to the Reporter: "Amiel's film portrays Darwin as a man torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place. The scientist finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth."
In case you missed them, two other films about the clash between faith and science came out this year: "Expelled" and the upcoming "Religulous," in theaters Oct. 3.
York County, you might recall, is home to Dover Area School District -- party to 2005's infamous intelligent design trial "Of Pandas and People" fame.
