First Photo of Emma Watson in Costume on 'Noah' Set

Emma Watson has been photographed for the first time on the set of Darren Aronofsky's highly-anticipated bibilical film "Noah". Hitting the set in Brookville, New York on Wednesday, October 17, the British beauty was snapped in full costume as Ila.

The Hermione Granger of the "Harry Potter" film series was photographed rocking a pair of brown leather boots that matched her brown trousers. She rocked an extention to her brown hair and side braided it a la Katniss Everdeen.

Also spotted on the set were Jennifer Connelly, Russell Crowe and Douglas Booth. Donning a hoodie and leather boots, Connelly wouldn't unveil the entire costume as she was spotted covering herself in an overcoat. Crowe and Booth, meanwhile, were spotted sporting bearded faces in addition to wearing scruffy outfits.

In "Noah", Crowe tackles the part of the devoted ark builder, while Connelly plays his wife Naameh. Booth stars as Noah's eldest son Shem, and Watson portrays his wife Ila. The movie is also supported by Logan Lerman and Leo McHugh Carroll as the prophet's other sons Ham and Japheth respectively, Anthony Hopkins as Methuselah, and Kevin Durand as angle Og.

Director Arronofsky once explained that his version of Noah would be different from the mainstream portrayal of the prophet. The "Black Swan" helmer saw the ark builder as "the first person to plant vineyards, drink wine and get drunk."

He added, "I was stunned going back and realizing how dirty some of those stories are. They're not PG in any way. They're all about sleeping with your brother's sister who gives you a child who you don't know. That kind of stuff got censored out of our religious upbringing."

"Noah" is projected to arrive in the U.S. cinemas on March 28, 2014.

After being known as brainbox Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" film series for so long, Emma Watson tried to get out of the box by taking a totally different role in her latest film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". The English beauty plays free-spirited Sam, who introduces shy guy Charlie to drug use and sexuality.

Tackling the part of Sam, Emma was tasked to do some daring scenes, including the one which required her to strip down to skimpy clothing for a dancing scene at the screenings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Weighing in on the scene, the Paris-born actress admitted that it was not easy for her.

"It doesn't show but I was absolutely terrified," Emma told E! News at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. Ezra Miller, who plays her brother Patrick, added, "I watched her throw down so hard in every capacity. She can get down - and Wats gets down!"

Similar to Emma, Logan Lerman who plays Charlie also said that the stripping-off scene was a big challenge for him especially because he didn't feel comfortable about being clad in nothing but a pair of tiny gold undies. "Yeah, that was uncomfortable," he said. "It was one of those things you just try to forget... I just didn't think about and then I just went out there."

On the other hand, co-star Nina Dobrev gushed that people would see a different Emma in the movie. The Elena of "The Vampire Diaries" praised the British beauty, "Nobody has ever seen her in this kind of role - and with an American accent. She finished one chapter of her life, cut off her hair and embraced this new beginning. I think everyone is going to be very pleasantly surprised."

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" centers on Charlie, an introverted high school freshman who slowly comes out of his shell thanks to his new friends, Sam and Patrick. He is introduced to the awkward times of adolescence, including drug use and sexuality. The film is based on a 1999 novel by Stephen Chbosky, who also served as the director.

The drama will hit the U.S. theaters on September 21.
