Why It's Going To Rock: Moses Meets Gladiator Yeah, there's a slight chance that this could turn out to be an overhyped, overtly bombastic mess of filmmaking terribleness, but we've got our hopes on the fact that Exodus: Gods & Kings (or: "Moses" as it's otherwise know) will be a great movie. Why, exactly? Well, firstly, let's consider the acting talent involved: Christian Bale as the man himself, with supporting turns from Aaron Paul, Ben Kingsley, Sigourney Weaver andJohn Turturro. Yes. What we can also count on is the fact that, regardless of how the final movie turns out, Exodus is going to be beautiful to look at, because a) it's directed by Ridley Scott and b) it's directed by Ridley Scott. What's more, the script comes from the always reliable Steven Zaillian, who penned American Gangster, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Moneyball, among others. So fingers crossed this emerges as a Bible epic worth the actual ticket price.
