Director Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah” will hit theaters March 28, 2014.

“Since I was a kid, I have been moved and inspired by the story of Noah and his family’s journey,” Aronosky said of the film in a statement.“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.”
