‘Noah’ has come, ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ is next.

   With all the controversy surrounding ‘Noah’, I can only imagine the pressure that’s on the next Biblical film to come – ‘Exodus’. Which has been changed on IMDB to ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’. 

   ‘Exodus’ is directed by Ridley Scott, the man behind ‘Gladiator’. So, you can probably expect some good action in this upcoming Biblical flick. Christian Bale takes the role of Moses, Aaron Paul is Joshua, and Joel Edgerton is Rhamses. The film also co-stars Ben Kingsley and Sigourney Weaver.  

   The film’s screenplay credits Steve Zaillian, Bill Collage, and Adam Cooper. Steve Zaillian won an Oscar back in 1994 for his screenplay for ‘Schindler’s List’. I just hope he was the head of most of the writing, because Bill Collage and Adam Cooper have written some not so good films like ‘Tower Heist’ and ‘Accepted’. But, who knows? They might surprise us. The writers have a lot more content to work with than Aronofsky did for ‘Noah’, so it shall be interesting to see how much Biblical accuracy makes it into the film. But, obviously, this is Hollywood and creative license will be taken. 

   All there currently is as of now is some behind-the-scenes photos from the film in production. I am excited for this film. While, like ‘Noah’, there are sure to be some inaccuracies, it is awesome to see the film industry bringing Biblical stories to life. Just don’t touch the story of David, because that’s one of my passion projects. 

   Like I say many times, don’t judge or condone the film until you see it for yourself. It will be really interesting if this film somehow gets an ‘R’ rating. But I’m sure, to get better sales, it will get a PG-13 rating. 

   Are you excited for ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’? Let me know. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts! 🙂 (Pictures Below)
