Son of God and Noah?

Just got back from seeing "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", didn't think too much about it and thought it was ok. What caught my attention was during the commercials before the movie. I guess it just surprised me that a film company would be making a movie about the story of Jesus or about Noah's Ark. I have nothing against it but I just had to wonder how many people would come and see it. Son of God looked rather interesting to me, but then again it looked like it had a lot of action and war. Who knows, one of those two could be movie of the year.
