CAIRO, March 7 (UPI) -- Several Middle Eastern countries have chosen to ban director Darren Aronofsky's upcoming epic Noah.
The upcoming movie has come under fire because it contradicts Islamic law with its portrayal of a prophet on film. The objection is based on the belief that such depiction of holy figures cannot be accurate, and that actors cannot imitate the prophets' actual behaviors and mannerisms. An inaccurate portrayal is thought to open the door for believers to then question that prophet's behavior.
