Paramount Modified the Marketing Content for Forthcoming Biblical Movie “Noah”

According to a number of reliable media sources, Paramount has organized a vast movement to win back the religious society's conviction and altered the marketing content of the film “Noah” almost seven days ago without informing director Darren Aronofsky.

Aronofsky, who previously helmed Paramount’s big budget project “Black Swan”, had no idea about it and actually he learned about it through some media reports, and was quite disappointed that he was not taken into confidence.

Paramount has not given any remarks about this story so far. The changes were reportedly made after several days of discussions between Paramount and the religious heads.

Aronofsky has said that he does not intend to spoil the film in any way, but he would not like the studio to do any undesirable changes to his imaginative idea. He has thoroughly perceived a film about Noah for more than a decade.

NRB board associate Phil Cooke, who has watched the film and talked to the studio about it, said to some reliable media sources that the provision was essential because of “the controversy in the Christian community about [Aronosfky's] telling of story.” Cooke has urged the religious society to be more sanguine about the motion picture, which is “more of an inspired movie than an exact retelling.”

Paramount and Aronofsky had already passed several weeks arguing which cut of the film must be included, as the studio examined a number of its own stories. The studio deems that it is following Aronofsky's idea, but the director considers that the studio is concerned about showing the accurate message to the Christian population.

According to some reports, a number of well-known Christian advocates and scholars have showed apprehensions about Aronofsky's version of one of the most renowned stories in the most holy book in the Western world from its origin. The condemnation started around a year ago, when an older adaptation of the story was disclosed. After going through a copy, Brian Godawa came up with an article debating Aronofsky's objective seemed to be turning the tale of “Noah” into an ecological allegory.

Since then, Godawa wants to watch the film, and clarified that his doubts were derived from the script and not the final film.

“I critiqued the script and not the movie,” Godawa said. “The religious community is highly particular about being literal with the bible. Sometimes the standard of literalness is not even biblical itself. They go overboard.”
