Tagline: "A comedy of biblical proportions" [2007]

Read about "Evan Almighty" [otherwise known as the "Bruce Almighty" sequel] on the IMDb here or, should you prefer it, on Wiki here.

Funky details spotted on the Wiki page:

Construction of the ark began in January 2006 and the scenes involving the ark were shot in a Crozet, Virginia subdivision called Old Trail.[3] The ark was designed to meet the actual measurements of the biblical ark, measuring 450 feet (140 m) long, 80 feet (24 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high.[8] The ark's layout was also based on pictures in several children's books that crew members had read in their childhoods.[3] When the characters were filmed during the day building the ark or were on location elsewhere, crew members would further construct the ark at night.[3] A concrete base was built to support the weight of the large ark; after filming was completed, the ark was taken down in a week, and the base in another week.[3]

In disassembling the set, everything that was salvageable from the ark was donated to Habitat for Humanity. "Leave no trace" was the slogan used by the director as part of the DVD's bonus features, "The Almighty Green Set".
