Who directed the 2014 film Noah, a dramatization inspired by the Noah’s Ark story?

Darren Aronofsky directed the 2014 film Noah, a dramatization inspired by the Noah’s Ark story.

Released in 2014, Noah stars Russell Crowe as the biblical figure and presents a large-scale fantasy drama based on the Genesis account. Aronofsky directed the film and co-wrote its screenplay with Ari Handel. The cast also includes Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins.

The film is not a scene-by-scene adaptation of Genesis. It expands the story with original characters, visual effects, and fantasy elements, including the Watchers. Its production design and interpretation therefore belong to cinema rather than serving as a direct textual summary of the Bible.

Darren Aronofsky is also known for films such as Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, and The Whale. Noah was his first feature film with a major biblical subject and a large studio production.
