- Filming began in July 2012 on the Dirholay Peninsula, in the Fossvogur area near Reykjavik, on the Reynisdrangar basalt columns, and in other locations in Southern Iceland.

- In March 2014, a number of Muslim countries, such as Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, and Egypt, refused to grant permission to broadcast the film in cinemas. Censors banned the film because Muslim tradition does not allow depictions of prophets and messengers of Allah.
- Paramount Studios intended to re-edit the film to avoid scaring away potential viewers, but ultimately decided to release the director's cut.
- Russell Crowe tried to persuade Pope Francis to watch "Noah" via Twitter, describing the film as powerful, captivating, and resonant. As a result, Francis invited Russell Crowe to the Vatican for a brief audience, during which he blessed the film "Noah." According to Crowe, given the numerous controversies surrounding the film, the invitation to the Vatican was a great honor.

- Saoirse Ronan, Bella Heathcote, and Dakota Fanning were considered for the role of Ila. Although Heathcote made a strong impression during the audition, the director initially envisioned Dakota Fanning in the role, but she had to leave the project due to scheduling conflicts. Ultimately, the role went to Emma Watson.
- In May 2014, China joined the growing list of countries where the film was banned from release. The film did not meet the quota for permitted foreign films (34 films per year) because Chinese censors did not recommend "Noah" for viewing due to religious concerns.
- The technologies needed to produce fabrics with the structure seen on the characters in the film were not available for several thousand years after the time of the Great Flood.
- During the time period in which the film takes place, there were no technologies that would have allowed for the smelting of steel of such quality and for such a purpose as shown in the film.
- The Ark withstood the impact of millions of tons of water simultaneously from all sides (which is already strange), but the main villain easily punched a hole in it with one hand.
