The U.S. rights to Creation, adapted from Annie's Box by Randal Keynes (Charles Darwin's great-great grandson), have been acquired by Newmarket Films. Jon Amiel directed the film, which stars Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany. A December release is planned.
Variety reported that the movie "played two weeks ago at the Toronto Film Festival. After the Toronto screening, some predicted that U.S. distributors would be scared off by the theme of evolution." Newmarket also released The Passion of the Christ.
