In the 2014 film Noah, who directed the movie about the biblical Ark builder?

In the 2014 film Noah, Darren Aronofsky directed the movie about the biblical Ark builder.

Noah is a 2014 American epic biblical film directed by Aronofsky and co-written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel. Russell Crowe plays Noah, while Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins are among the principal cast members.

The film draws on the Genesis Flood story but is not a scene-by-scene adaptation of the biblical text. It expands the narrative with invented characters, dramatic conflicts, and fantasy elements, so its plot should not be used as a source for details that Genesis does not contain.

Aronofsky had long been interested in the Noah figure and developed the project before its theatrical release. The film’s director is sometimes confused with its lead actor, Russell Crowe, but Crowe played Noah rather than directing the production.
