In this April 1, 2014 file photo, New Zealand actor Russell Crowe poses for photographers at the premiere of his film "Noah" in Paris.

Film censors in both countries said Monday, April 7, 2014, that the portrayal of the ark-building prophet by Crowe was against Islamic laws. Depictions of any prophet are shunned in Islam to avoid worship of a person rather than God. (AP Photo/Thibault Camus, File)
