This tidbit actually doesn't surprise me, because not long after The New World, Malick's last feature, was released, there were rumors that the storyline for his next project would have an epic, even mythic scale to it. Look up "Tree of Life" (the term, not the film title) in Wikipedia, and that may give some clues as to what Malick is going for here.
