Will this take on a Bible story be another big bust?
Or will it be a big argument that non-faith-based filmmakers can tell our stories better than we can, because they aren’t as close to the source material?

I love epic films! I’m actually watching Noah this weekend, haven’t gotten to it, but I think this trailer looks great.
The story of Moses leading the people out of Egypt is one that I always keep reading because it’s so good. Sometimes the Bible puts me to sleep, but it has never happened with Moses and the exodus from Egypt.
I think it’ll be good!
I can’t really seem to get over how whitewashed this film is. It’s almost insultingly regressive. I want to write a memo to Hollywood with the actual number of white people in the Bible. It will be a short list.
The crazy thing is that there are plenty of bankable people of color that they could have cast. I love Christian Bale’s work, but, you can’t get much whiter.
This trailer looks amazing and because the storyline is somewhat a little more interesting and action packed it may be more appealing to the masses, but it is still a bible story at the end of the day talking about a God who society no longer wants to acknowledge so we’ll see…
