Russell Crowe’s new World War II movie is currently topping VOD charts in America, but 12 years ago, he starred in a divisive biblical epic that’s redeeming itself on streaming. Crowe stars alongside Jennifer Connelly (Top Gun: Maverick) and Emma Watson (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) in Noah, the religious epic telling the story of a man chosen by God to build an ark to survive a world-ending flood. Noah is streaming exclusively on Paramount+ in America, but globally, the film is in the HBO Max top 10 in several countries, including France and Lithuania.

Critics didn’t have many negative things to say about Noah. The film earned a solid 75% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which was strong enough to earn the Certified Fresh label on the aggregate site. However, the film was a disaster in the eyes of audiences, who rated it a rotten 41% on Rotten Tomatoes. This didn’t stop Noah from finding success at the box office, though. The film cost $125 million to make, but it still grossed over $350 million at the global box office. It safely pushed over $100 million past its break-even point over 10 years ago.

Darren Aronofsky wrote the script for Noah with Ari Handel, and Aronofsky also stepped behind the camera to direct the film. Aronofsky most recently directed Caught Stealing, the underrated crime thriller starring Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two) and Matt Smith (House of the Dragon). After an underwhelming performance at the box office, Caught Stealing began streaming on Netflix, where it quickly infiltrated the top 10 in America and several other countries. Aronofsky is also famous for directing The Whale, starring Brendan Fraser, and Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman.

What’s Next for Russell Crowe After ‘Nuremberg’?

Crowe has been tapped to star in the Highlander reboot in the works from John Wick director Chad Stahelski. Former Superman actor Henry Cavill has even been tapped to star in the lead role in the film, and it was even scheduled to begin filming late last year before being hit with an unexpected delay. Cavill was injured during training for Highlander, which led to filming being pushed back to the start of this year, but it’s expected to begin any day now. Unfortunately, it likely won’t be released before the end of this year.

Be sure to check out Noah on Paramount+ in America and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
