Connelly Monkeys Around In "Creation"


"Creation" is the partly biographical, part fictional account of scientist Charles Darwin's relationship with his eldest daughter 'Annie', as the author struggled to document his evolutionary theories in the book "On the Origin of Species":


Produced by Jeremy Thomas, the film was directed by Jon Amiel, starring actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly as 'Charles' and 'Emma Darwin'. 

Screenplay is by John Collee, adapting author Randal Keynes's biography of Darwin titled "Annie's Box".

The film had its world premiere in Toronto September 10, 2009. According to producer Thomas, the US was one of the last countries to find a distributor due to the prominence of the ongoing 'creation' vs. 'evolution' controversy.
