@bawnian-dexeus: So "Rib" & "Baculum" are words referencing the creation of Eve, or something she created? I'm thinking the former, but my biblical memory is a bit rusty. :P

@slysnide Eve's creation
@ejk1 Oh, ok

@bawnian-dexeus I don't think they will get that deep into the story. In Paradise Lost, Eve was already created when we met Adam, so her creation should be glossed over.

@bawnian-dexeus: Rib? Baculum?

@slysnide @ejk1 Think they will go with the "rib" interpretation or the "baculum" interpretation or the "side" interpretation for Eve?

@ejk1 @bawnian-dexeus: It'd be nice to see them all scarfing down mushrooms. Man that'd be cool.

@ejk1 Well, depending on what, they have enough to choose from. I just want to see how this turns out. Last Adam and Eve movie i saw was when I was 7 and it was in Spanish

@bawnian-dexeus It would make more sense for Adam to be portrayed by a Jewish actor, considering that the earliest stories, such as that of Moses, refers to the Jews as God's people. Also, Jesus, God's son (to Christians), is also Jewish.

Huh, Larry Kasdan sure is collaborating with a lot of people on this script, if he's spearheading it which I'd expect him to be.

Never thought I'd see a Mexican play our ancestor, but then again, I've always seen a white guy play Adam.
