Logan Lerman, known for his role as Ham in the 2014 biblical epic film Noah, recently shared his surprise and delight at the movie's resurgence as a streaming hit a decade after its release. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, Noah follows the story of Noah, played by Russell Crowe, who is chosen by God to build an ark and save his family and animals from an impending flood.
In a recent interview, Lerman expressed his initial unawareness of Noah's newfound popularity, stating, 'That's one of the coolest things about the streaming age is that movies can be rediscovered. Time can go by and people can find it again. That was a really cool project to work on. It's cool to hear that people still want to watch it. It's nice.'
Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its initial release, with a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and a 41% audience approval rating, Noah has found success on streaming platforms. The film grossed $359 million worldwide against a budget of $125 million, falling short of expectations at the box office.
However, in 2024, Noah made a surprising comeback on Netflix, entering the global top 10 list with millions of views. While it eventually dropped off the list, the film's resurgence speaks to its enduring appeal and the power of streaming platforms to introduce older films to new audiences.
Director Darren Aronofsky, known for his divisive films like mother! and The Whale, delivered an epic retelling of the biblical story with Noah. Starring a stellar cast including Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Ray Winston, Anthony Hopkins, Logan Lerman, and Douglas Booth, Noah continues to captivate viewers with its timeless tale of faith and survival.
