More than fifty years ago, legendary director Cecil B. DeMille has made one of the Hollywood's biggest blockbusters of all-time in a grand epic about Moses in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956), which was of course famous for Charlton Heston's immortalized role as Moses.
Now Warner Bros. was eyeing Steven Spielberg to direct a biopic about Moses, which will be titled as GODS AND KINGS. According to Deadline, Spielberg has committed to the project which will be completely different than what THE TEN COMMANDMENTS has presented before. Instead he will reimagined Moses' s life as a gritty war movie in the vein of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. Here's the description below.
A movie like a Braveheart-ish version of the Moses story. Him coming down the river, being adopted, leaving his home, forming an army, and getting the Ten Commandments.
Steven Spielberg is certainly the right choice to direct such grand epic about Moses, and it will be interesting to see him doing it sometimes in the future as the studio is aiming to start production either on March or April 2013.
