In the 2014 film Noah, who directed the biblical epic?

Darren Aronofsky directed the 2014 biblical epic film Noah.

The film stars Russell Crowe as Noah and was written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel. It draws on the Genesis Flood story but expands the material with invented characters, conflicts, visual effects, and plot elements. It is therefore a dramatic interpretation rather than a scene-by-scene adaptation of the biblical text.

Noah was released in 2014 and became one of Aronofsky’s largest-scale productions. The project attracted attention because it treated an ancient religious narrative as a major effects-driven feature while also presenting a darker, more speculative tone than many family-oriented retellings.

The film’s credits are easy to confuse with those of other epic directors, especially because Ridley Scott directed biblical films such as Exodus: Gods and Kings and Peter Jackson directed The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Aronofsky’s authorship is specifically tied to this 2014 interpretation of Noah.
