Note Added to "Noah" Explaining That It's Not a Documentary

Posted on Friday, February 28, 2014 11:40 AM

Movie PosterIndustry news site The Wrap is reporting that Paramount Pictures will be adding an "explanatory message" to its upcoming, fictional, drama, Noah, in order to appease a religious broadcasters group:

The decision followed an appeal by Dr. Jerry A. Johnson, President & CEO of National Religious Broadcasters, to help audiences better understand that the feature film is a dramatization of the major scriptural themes and not a line-by-line retelling of the Bible story, the statement said.

The statement added to the film is:

“The film is inspired by the story of Noah.

While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values, and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide.

The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.”

While it's difficult to imagine that anyone would mistake a movie like this for a documentary-style telling of the events, now we'll be sure. After all, it's not like this would be the first time that a movie adapted from a book has taken liberties...
