Ridley Scott Developing MOSES Movie

Prometheus director Ridley Scott seems to have a ton of projects that he's developing. He most recently talked about a western he has in the works, then there's Blade Runner 2, The Counselor is about to start shooting, and now he's revealed that he also developing the biblical story of Moses as a feature film. Here's what he told Esquire in a recent interview,

I've got something else in the works. I'm already doing it. It's called 'Moses.' Seriously, seriously. It's going to happen. I probably shouldn't have let that slip out. I'm not supposed to say anything. It's definitely in the cards, though. What's interesting to me about Moses isn't the big stuff that everybody knows. It's things like his relationship with Ramses [II, the pharaoh]. I honestly wasn't paying attention in school when I was told the story of Moses. Some of the details of his life are extraordinary.

It's amazing to me that at the age of 74 Scott is still going strong, and it doesn't look like he's going to slow down anytime soon. I'll watch anything that he does, so if he plans on making a movie about Moses, you can bet your ass it's going to be good. The guy just has an awesome visual style with everything he does.

This isn't the only Moses project being developed though. Warner Bros. is working on one called Gods And Kings which Steven Spilerberg is supposed to direct. Then Fox also has one in development, but there's not much information on it at this time. There's a possibility that Scott is attached to the Fox project, as that's the studio he worked with on Prometheus. We'll find out soon enough what that story is behind this new Moses project. 

What do you think about Scott making a film based on Moses?
