"The imaginations of countless generations have sparks to this epic story of faith. It's my hope that I can present a window into Noah's passion and perseverance for the silver screen."
John Logan will rewrite the script for the project, with Darren and Scott Franklin producing.
Christian Bale has been touted for the leading role in the film, but he has not yet been officially signed on.
The Noah story from the Christian Bible's Old Testament tells the story of a God who is unhappy with the world and decides to flood it, tasking Noah and his family with building a huge ark with which to carry a pair of every animal to safety.
