Forever, Biblically Young

Biblical epics are tricky – but don’t think that’s gonna keep Tom Cruise from trying his luck with one.

The star is set to headline Methuselah for producer David Heyman (the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Harry Potter franchise).

Up-and-coming director Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Kon-Tiki) is attached to helm the life story of the longest-living figure in the Hebrew Bible.
