A Chinese Ilyushin IL-76s aircraft taxies past another parked on the tarmac at Perth International Airport after returning from search operations for wreckage and debris of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, in Perth, Australia, Monday, April 7, 2014. It’s not a question most governments involved in the hunt for Flight 370 care to answer: How much has the far-flung, month-long search cost?

In this April 1, 2014 file photo, New Zealand actor Russell Crowe poses for photographers at the premiere of his film &quot;Noah&quot; in Paris. Malaysia and Indonesia have banned the biblical epic &quot;Noah,&quot; joining other Muslim nations that forbid the Hollywood movie for its visual depiction of the prophet. 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)
