Noah Movie Test Screenings Reveal Christian Audiences were Frustrated with 'Darkness' of Russell Crowe's Portrayal : Movies : breathecast

Preliminary screenings of Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" has shown that Christians were not entirely happy with the "Black Swan" director's portrayal of the well known Genesis character.

After "Noah" superseded its initial $125 million budget and became the costliest movie that Aronofsky had ever made, Paramount Pictures forced the director to show different versions of the uncompleted film to test audiences last year after the Noah film exceeded its $125 million budget.

"I was upset - of course," said Aronofsky to The Hollywood Reporter. "No one's ever done that to me."

According to THR, some of Christian audience inquired about the film's devotion to the Biblical story and reacted disapprovingly to the intensity and gloominess of the lead character after he got drunk and thought about taking extreme measures to eliminate humanity from the planet.
