Culturally Relevant
The story of Noah and his Ark has been culturally relevant and marveled for some time now. Hollywood, of all places, loves this story, and its reiterations have been very successful in the movies.
Darren Aronofsky, who is also famous for directing hit flicks such as Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan ended up making his own version of the Noah story, with Russell Crowe starring as the Biblical character. Steve Carrell also starred as a Noah-like character in Evan Almighty.
