Check out five new photos from Ridley Scott's take on the story of Moses, Exodus: Gods and Kings, which stars Christian Bale.
And the Biblical Epics keep on running. If you ever wanted to hear Christian Bale gruff, “Let my people go!” here is your chance. With Ridley Scott returning to his genre of choice, big, old epics, Hollywood is revisiting the Moses story with Bale as the leader of the Hebrews, Joel Edgerton as Ramses, Pharaoh of Egypt, and Ben Kingsley and Sigourney Weaver in supporting roles. Imagine the parting of the Red Sea under Scott’s direction and with CGI’s visuals. Between Crowe as Noah and Bale as Moses, the Bible has never seemed so ready for a lil’ fisticuffs.
Following the tradition of Noah (or Scott’s own Robin Hood), Exodus: Gods and Kings looks to take a well-known story and give it the spin of a modern lens. We know that Moses really fought for his people, but now he is fighting headlong into battle. Plus, is it that surprising for Christian Bale to be playing the orphaned son of wealth who decides to not give up on his hometown people?
Check out the five new pictures, released via EW, below.
Exodus: Gods and Kings opens December 12, 2014.
