Source: Studio wants “Noah” blockbuster to be biblically accurate; director feels otherwise | Fox News

Jews in New York didn’t like it.  A slice of the general population of Orange County, Calif. didn’t like it.  So the question in Hollywood now is: Will the upcoming $125 million “Noah” blockbuster sink, or float?  As first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, director Darren Aronofsky and Paramount Studios are battling over the final cut of the Russell Crowe, Emma Watson-starring “Noah,” which tested poorly at screenings for the three audiences mentioned above.  A source tells FOX411 that Paramount is determined to make a movie that is as biblically accurate as possible and appeals to those who go to church each Sunday, while Aronofsky – an independent filmmaker making his first big studio film – has a very different creative vision less in the line with scripture.  “Paramount is trying to keep it on track,” the insider said.  Some critics are upset that sticking to the Bible’s version of events is even an issue.
