![Russell Crowe - Parentesis Magazine Cover [Venezuela] (20 April 2014)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/b/q/bqwfukb985ns5bbf.jpg?skj2io4l)
Ham: I don't belong here. For what it's worth, I'm glad it begins again with you. Maybe we'll learn to be kind.
- Because kissing scene was shot multiple times, Emma Watson was left with bleeding lips, while Douglas Booth was nursing a sore nose and swollen mouth.
- Paramount Pictures were very worried about how Noah (2014) and its religious theme would be treated properly, so they screen tested three different rough cuts of the film, both without the approval and knowledge of Darren Aronofsky and all of the versions met with resounding criticism from Christian audiences. It has, since then, led to countless controversy and debacle on its correspondence to the biblical text found in the Book of Genesis. Aronofsky said that he was very unhappy with Paramount testing alternate versions of Noah that were not 'true to his vision': "I was upset - of course. No one has ever done that to me. I imagine if I made comedies and horror films, it would be helpful. In dramas, it's very, very hard to do. I've never been open to it. I don't believe that." After much discussion and compromise, the studio announced on February 12 that Darren Aronofsky's version, not any of the studio's alternate versions, will be the final cut of Noah. "They tried what they wanted to try, and eventually they came back. My version of the film hasn't been tested... It's what we wrote and what was greenlighted," Aronofsky said. It will not be test screened until post production is finished, as per Aronofsky's wishes.
- According to Emma Watson, the film has an ambiguous setting: "It could be set in any time. It could be set sort of like a thousand years in the future or a thousand years in the past... You shouldn't be able to place it too much."
- Not once in the film do any of the characters refer to God as anything other than "the Creator."
- Saoirse Ronan, Bella Heathcote and Dakota Fanning were considered to play Ila. Although Heathcote made a very strong impression on her audition, Fanning was the director's first choice. Fanning tried to work out her schedule but in the end couldn't do it because she was filming another movie at the time. Emma Watson was cast in the end.
