In the 2014 film Noah, who directed the movie about the biblical flood story?

Darren Aronofsky directed the 2014 film Noah.

Noah is a biblical epic starring Russell Crowe as Noah, with Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins, and Ray Winstone among the principal cast. Aronofsky directed the film from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ari Handel.

The movie draws on the Genesis flood story but expands it with original characters, conflicts, visual designs, and environmental themes. It is therefore an adaptation rather than a scene-by-scene filming of the biblical text. The production used large-scale sets and computer-generated effects to depict the Ark and the catastrophic flood.

Released in 2014, the film generated discussion about its interpretation of scripture and its darker dramatic tone. Its director is a film-industry fact, while the biblical account itself remains the older source that inspired the project.
