Well, the bad news is there's apparently no need to crack a "Jaws"-inspired, "You're gonna need a bigger boat" joke here. The very much good news is that director Darren Aronofsky tweeted a picture yesterday of the under-construction ark for his movie "Noah" and from the looks of it, he's made sure that it'll be giant.

Along with the picture, Aronofsky also tweeted the following message: "I dreamt about this since I was 13. And now it's a reality. Genesis 6:14 #noah." According to the King James Bible, Genesis 6:14 reads: "Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch."

This is the second time this past week that Aronofsky has turned to Twitter to share news about the project, using the site on Monday to share that Anthony Hopkins would be joining the cast. Russell Crowe will be playing the titular biblical character, and the film is set for a March 28, 2014 release.

Only one question remains: how many pairs of animals do you think will fit in Aronofsky's completed ark? Your estimates are encouraged.

What are your thoughts on the ark for Aronofsky's "Noah"? Let us know in the comments and on Twitter!
