‘Noah’ Movie News: Emma Watson ‘Harry Potter’ More Intense; Russell Crowe Twitter Bombs Pope

Noah star Emma Watson recently admitted that after making the physically grueling Harry Potter franchise films, no movie shoot will ever be as intense or challenging. It apparently isn't enough for Australian actor Russell Crowe to force us to live through his haphazard attempt at a Hollywood comeback; the nut job is actually harassing Pope Francis to watch the Bible-based flick on Twitter.

Emma Watson has admitted in the past that it was far from pleasant enduring the hardships that director Darren Aronofsky forced upon Watson's frail frame druing the making of Noah, but they still couldn't compare to the juggernaut that was the Harry Potter franchise.

The remarkable talented actress told Reuters, that if you can survive a Potter production than you can damn-near endure anything (via Jerusalem Post):

"I remember being on set and Darren was saying, 'Okay, the water is going to be cold, we're probably going to be here for a full day, try and conserve your energy between takes, like keep warm and make sure you eat properly. This is going to be physically very demanding.'

"For a minute I felt very intimidated and then there's something about having done those Harry Potter films and they were very physical. We did a lot of stuff in Scotland. It was freezing cold, filming at four in the morning, working crazy hours.

"It's kind of comforting in a way to know that in some senses, nothing will be as hard as that again, and I'm pretty prepared for most things people can throw at me, whether it be animals, water, stunts, CGI--whatever it is.

"It was a very good school in a way and set me up very well for this kind of environment and this kind of pressure."

Meanwhile, Russell Crowe has also been working hard to get the word out about Noah one convert at a time; 49-year-old actor has been bugging the hell out of Pope Francis on Twitter.

Crowe decided that Christ's vigor didn't have enough on his plate, and over the course of five posts proceeded to brow-beat Catholicism's head-boss man into checking out his latest flood flick:

"Dear Holy Father @Pontifex, would you like to see @DarrenAronofsky film #NOAH ? I am sure you would find it fascinating.

"Dear Holy Father @Pontifex @Pontifex_it @DarrenAronofsky #Noah film. Screening?The message of the film is powerful , fascinating, resonant.

"Villagers,given his environmental focus/scholarly knowledge ,trying to screen #Noah for Pope Francis. @Pontifex You help? retweet previous.

"Dear Holy Father @Pontifex , Sorry that I have caused havoc in your social media world. Seriously though, #Noah the movie will fascinate you.

"Holy Father @Pontifex , it would be my deepest pleasure to bring the @DarrenAronofsky film to you to screen. That this may happen Inshallah."

Pope Frank doesn't even eat at Shallah's anymore, stupid.
