Paramount Pictures and New Regency Productions jointly announced today that Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) will direct the feature film Noah, with Academy Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator) coming aboard to re-write the script by Aronofsky and Ari Handel.
“Since I was a kid, I have been moved and inspired by the story of Noah and his family’s journey. The imaginations of countless generations have sparked to this epic story of faith. It’s my hope that I can present a window into Noah’s passion and perseverance for the silver screen,” said Aronofsky.
Aronofsky and Scott Franklin will produce the movie.
