Creation, a new film about Charles Darwin, directed by Jon Amiel (Entrapment, Sommersby, The Singing Detective) and starring Paul Bettany, is set to hit UK cinemas on 25 September. The film makers describe Creation as "the powerful story of Charles Darwin and the single most explosive idea in history.
"Darwin's great, still controversial book, On the Origin of Species, (inspired by Galapagos) depicts nature as a battleground. In Creation the battleground is a man's heart. Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, Darwin finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth."
Creation is based upon GCT Ambassador Randal Keynes' book, Annie's Box,
about the life of his great great grandfather Charles Darwin. The book
will be published in paperback by John Murray (publishers) on 17
September.
The Galapagos Conservation Trust (GCT) will be taking part in the UK premiere and has helped publicise the film in the UK by supplying Icon Film Distribution with information about Galapagos and related topical issues.
