Mary Parent has come on to produce Paramount Pictures and New Regency's re-imagining of the Noah's ark story titled "Noah," to be directed by Darren Aronofsky.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Arnon Milchan is also producing for New Regency along with Aronofsky and Scott Franklin.

After Christian Bale turned down the lead, Aronofsky is now looking to Michael Fassbender ("Shame") to fill the role.

Noah's Ark is the ship that, according to the Book of Genesis, was built by Noah at God's order to save himself, his family, and the world's animals from the Great Flood.

Aronofsky and Ari Handel wrote the first draft of the script with John Logan ("Any Given Sunday," "Gladiator," "Hugo") doing a rewrite.

Parent, formerly the head of production at Universal and chairman of MGM's worldwide motion picture group, is also producing Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim" for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.
