Aronofsky had explained that he saw Noah as “a dark, complicated character” who experiences “real survivor’s guilt” after the flood. Aronofsky was working on early drafts of the script for Noah around the time his first attempt to make The Fountain fell through when actor Brad Pitt left the project.
