Paramount changed the marketing materials for its upcoming film “Noah” last week without telling director Darren Aronofsky, an individual familiar with the matter told TheWrap.
Aronofsky, whom Paramount entrusted with a $130 million movie after the success of “Black Swan,” knew nothing about it and was “not happy” to learn about it in the press, according to that individual.
Paramount and Aronofsky declined requests to comment for this story. The studio issued a release Thursday announcing that it would add a religious disclaimer to the film and all its marketing materials. The change came after months of conversations between the studio and religious leaders.
