Description:

Exodus is an upcoming 2014 drama/biblical film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Bill Collage, Adam Cooper and Steven Zaillian. The film stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, Ben Kingsley and Sigourney Weaver. It is an interpretation of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt as led by Moses and related in the Bible book of Exodus. Exodus is a Biblical epic based on the life and times of Moses. Christian Bale will be headlining Scott’s film as the prophet (featured in the Book of Exodus) Moses...meanwhile, Joe Edgerton has been cast as the adopted brother-turned bitter rival, the Egyptian ruler Ramses.

On March 27, 2014, studio changed the title of the film to "Exodus: Gods and Kings".

Casting for Exodus has certainly, as Deadline is reporting that several new actors and actresses are closing out deals to appear in the film. This news comes just two weeks after Edgerton was reported to be onboard; by comparison, five months passed between reports about Bale and Edgerton showing interest in Scott’s project. As it stands, the supporting cast for Exodus now looks to include Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Need For Speed) playing the Hebrew slave Joshua, Sigourney Weaver (Avatar) as Ramses’ mother Tuya, Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley (Ender’s Game) as a Hebrew scholar, and John Turturro (Fading Gigolo) playing the father of Ramses (Seti).

Scott is looking to make this his next project after the star-studded The Counselor, which comes to theaters this fall, and he and the studio seem especially eager now that Steve Zaillian, the writer behind American Gangster and Moneyball, has come on board for a rewrite.

Exodus will hit the theatres on 12th December, 2014.
