Who directed the 2014 film Noah?

Darren Aronofsky directed the 2014 film Noah.

Noah is a biblical epic directed by Aronofsky and released in 2014. The film stars Russell Crowe as Noah, with Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins among the principal cast. Its story draws on the Genesis flood narrative but expands the material with original characters, visual designs, and dramatic subplots.

Aronofsky co-wrote the screenplay with Ari Handel. The production used extensive digital effects to depict the flood, the Ark, and the animals, and it presented a darker, highly stylized interpretation rather than a straightforward scene-by-scene adaptation of Genesis.

The director is sometimes confused with the film’s lead actor, Russell Crowe, because Crowe’s performance is central to the marketing and title character. Crowe played Noah; Aronofsky was the director. The film’s release date and title distinguish it from earlier television and cinematic treatments of the Ark story.
