It’s Christian Bale vs. Joel Edgerton in the new trailer for Ridley Scott’s latest, Exodus: Gods And Kings as the man who made Gladiator and Prometheus goes Biblical on us all. With the film now due next month, the final trailer is over at Apple.
Gods And Kings finds Bale as Moses, who, after years spent growing up in Egypt like a brother to Rhamses (Edgerton), the man who will become Pharaoh, learns of a prophecy that he’s destined to lead his people to freedom from slavery.
Because Moses has God in his side, when Rhamses refuses his request, wave after wave of terrible plagues come down upon his people. Despite Rhamses’ claim to be a living god himself, he’s no match for what follows. But even as Moses leads 400,000 Jews away from slavery, the forces allied against him start to hunt them down.
Yes, it’s epic territory for Scott, who brings all the might of a hefty extras budget and massive computer power to bear on the story. With Aaron Paul, Ben Kingsley, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Mendelsohn, Indira Varma, John Turturro and Hiam Abbass among the cast, **Exodus: Gods And Kings **will hit the UK on December 26.
