Noah (2014 film)

Noah is a 2014 American epic biblical drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky who co-wrote the screenplay with Ari Handel. Inspired by the biblical story of Noah's Ark from the Book of Genesis, the film stars Russell Crowe as Noah, along with Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins. The film was released in North American theaters on March 28, 2014, in 2D and IMAX, while a version converted to 3D and IMAX 3D was released in several other countries.
Noah received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $362 million worldwide, making it Aronofsky's highest-grossing film to date. It was praised for its direction and acting, but generated controversy for its perceived environmentalist political messages and extensive use of non-biblical sources for inspiration such as the Book of Enoch. It was denied release in China for "religion-related reasons", according to an anonymous source. It was also banned in several Muslim countries due to its depiction of prophets venerated in Islam.
