Fox to ready a Moses film with ‘Moby Dick’ writing team
New Moses film to be released by Fox
Producers Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark will be teaming up for a modernized big-screen version of the story of Moses.
20th Century Fox have landed Moby Dick (the whale tale is still in development) writers Adam Cooper and Bill Collage to pen a script of the biblical tale, which will focus on Moses’ adoption into the Egyptian royal family and how he led the Hebrew people out of Egypt.
The still untitled project is believed to take a page from Zack Snyder’s 300 but don’t expect buckets of blood and S&M warlords…or a naked Lena Headey.
No word if the film will be a direct reimagination of Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 film The Ten Commandments.
