The trailer for Darren Aronofsky's (Black Swan, The Wrestler, Requiem for A Dream) new film, Noah, was leaked online Wednesday.

The film, which stars Russell Crowe in the titular character, is Aronofsky's take on the Biblical tale Noah's arc. The shaky bootleg seems to have been shot at a screening.

The trailer starts with Noah having apocalyptic, premonitory visions in his sleep. When Noah's wife (played by Jennifer Connelly) asks him what God told him, he says, "He is going to destroy the world." The trailer also features Anthony Hopkins in a wise old man's role as he speaks to Noah about how if man continued with his ways, the creator would annihilate this world.

Antagonistic elements play up as Noah starts to build the arc. People of his community oppose his actions and theories about the world's end. The film runs with the tagline: "Rediscover the epic story."

The film recently made headlines when Aronofsky was at loggerheads with the production studio, Paramount, about the final cut of the film. After a few test screenings in New York, Arizona, and Orange County, rendered negative criticisms, Paramount expressed concerns about the movie's final version expected to hit theaters. The studio reportedly chose to target viewers from the Jewish community in New York, Christians in Arizona, and the general public in Orange County. However, Aronofsky rejected the suggested changes to the film.

"Darren is not made for studio films," a talent rep associated with the project told The Hollywood Reporter. "He's very dismissive. He doesn't care about [Paramount's] opinion.

Paramount's Vice Chairman Rob Moore said the film was going through a "normal preview process" and the result would be "one version of the movie that Darren is overseeing," he told the publication.

Moore also suggested that the studio was prepared for complications going in since the film draws from Biblical text, which could at times come with lots of criticism based on the way it is portrayed. Paramount "allowed for a very long postproduction period, which allowed for a lot of test screenings," he said. 

"We're getting to a very good place, and we're getting there with Darren," he added.
