Short description

A man who suffers visions of an apocalyptic deluge takes measures to protect his family from the coming flood.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In May 2014, China joined the growing list of countries where the film was banned from release. The film did not qualify for the quota of permitted foreign films (34 films per year) because Chinese censors did not recommend "Noah" for viewing on religious grounds.
  • Filming began in July 2012 on the Dirholay Peninsula, in the Fossvogur area near Reykjavik, on the Reynisdrangar basalt columns, and in other locations in Southern Iceland. Filming also took place in New York, Hollywood, and Washington, Mississippi. Noah's Ark was built in the Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in Upper Brooklyn, New York.
  • The technologies needed to produce fabrics with the structure seen on the characters in the film were not available for several thousand years after the time of the Great Flood.
  • Aronofsky offered the role of Noah to Christian Bale and Michael Fassbender, but both declined.
  • Liam Neeson, Liev Schreiber, and Val Kilmer were considered for the role of the main villain.
  • Darren Aronofsky had been fascinated by the character of Noah since childhood, envisioning him as a "dark, complex character who felt a profound sense of guilt."
  • Darren Aronofsky, together with Ari Handel and Canadian writer Niko Henrichon, worked on creating a graphic novel ('Noah: For the Cruelty of Men' (2011)) based on the film's screenplay.

  • Saoirse Ronan, Bella Heathcote, and Dakota Fanning were considered for the role of Ila. Although Heathcote made a strong impression during her audition, the director initially envisioned Dakota Fanning in the role, but she was forced to leave the project due to scheduling conflicts. Ultimately, the role went to Emma Watson.

  • Russell Crowe attempted to use Twitter to persuade Pope Francis to watch 'Noah,' describing the film as powerful, mesmerizing, and resonant. Ultimately, Francis invited Russell Crowe to the Vatican for a brief audience, during which he blessed the film 'Noah.' Crowe stated that, given the numerous controversies surrounding the movie, the invitation to the Vatican was a great honor.

  • During the time period in which the film takes place, there were no technologies that would have allowed for the smelting of steel of such quality and for such a purpose as shown in the film.
  • Darren Aronofsky had been fascinated by the character of Noah since childhood; he imagined him as a 'dark, complex character who experienced a deep sense of guilt.'
  • Paramount Studios intended to re-edit the film to avoid scaring away potential viewers, but ultimately decided to release the director's cut.
  • Julianne Moore was considered for the role that eventually went to Jennifer Connelly.
  • In March 2014, a number of Muslim countries, such as Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, and Egypt, refused to grant permission to broadcast the film in cinemas. Censors banned the film because Muslim tradition does not allow depictions of prophets and messengers of Allah.
  • No live animals were used during the filming of the movie.
  • The Ark withstood the impact of millions of tons of water simultaneously from all sides (which is already strange), but the main villain easily punched a hole in it with one hand.
