The idea that it is "an Icon production" comes from seeing the Icon logo at the beginning of the trailer but it is simply being distributed in the UK by Icon Film Distribution UK, which *was* part of Gibson’s company but was sold as a separate entity to Stewart Till in 2008 (see http://tinyurl.com/r2stt4). Showing the distribution company’s logo at the beginning of a film’s opening credits is common practice but in this case is confusing since the two companies share a logo.

Seeing as how Darwin was a fairly pious man himself, and that religion/God and evolution are not mutually exclusive "theories", I think this should prove to be entertaining and, dare I say, educational? Sign me up. Nice to see that this hasn’t devolved too much into a “why I hate religious people” diatribe.

He was in South America during major Earth quakes and on the Gallopegos Islands and all that. And Darwin was trained as a priest or some such religious figure so that angle is also interesting. I think if that's the sort of stuff they are dealing with it could be cool. The voyage of the HMS Beagle would be an awesome adventure movie.
