From director Jon Amiel and writer John Collee comes Creation, a true and moving love story about the legendary Charles Darwin. Based on the book "Annie's Box", a biography penned by Randal Keynes (Darwin's Great-Grandson) using letters and diary extracts, this heart-wrenching biopic gives us a unique insight into Darwin's life, his achievements, his science and more importantly his love for his extremely religious wife.
As he tries to finish his book "On The Origins of Species", which later becomes the foundation for evolutionary biology, we see... Darwin's inner turmoil subtly exposed as he becomes torn between his religion and his science.

Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, part heart-wrenching love story Creation is the story of Charles Darwin and the single most explosive idea in history. Darwin's great, still controversial, book The Origin of Species 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. This is not the grey-bearded old man that most people imagine when they think of Darwin. Told in a collage of scenes from the past and present, laced with stories of exotic animals and the dark dreams of a troubled mind Creation is a film that will provoke, entertain and ultimately deeply move you.
Director Jon Amiel's biopic explores the crisis of faith suffered by evolutionary scientist Charles Darwin (Paul Bettany). About to publish the book that would question God's role in creation, Darwin is forced to come to terms with how it will affect his deeply religious wife, Emma (Jennifer Connelly). In addition to his concerns about Emma, the worsening ill health of his beloved daughter Annie soon leads Darwin into a reassessment of his life's work, as he begins to fully realise the impact his theory will have on society.
