Actor Christian Bale as "Moses" in a scene from the upcoming Ridley Scott movie "Exodus: Gods and Kings" slated for release in December.

"I only hope that the comment is more a reflection of the actor's own ignorant bigotry than of the actual movie

Pretty much a definition of all Hollywood's productions and pronouncements.

[Steve_Seattle]

You’d think Bale could keep his mouth shut until after the movie has had its initial run; he’s turning away a lot of potential viewers.

[Cicero]

Well, looks more like another Hollywood jerk than Moses to me.

[Pearls Before Swine]

"He's a very troubled and tumultuous man who fought greatly against God, against his calling."

FWIW, I thought Charlton Heston's Moses was a bit slow picking up on his destiny, too. Of course, in many movies the audience is the first to know what's up, and the characters are the last.

First Noah, then Moses.... who’s next?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Well, another one I’m striking off my list. Refused to see ‘Noah’.

Took my son to see ‘Left Behind’. It was seriously lacking. I’d had hopes for it.

I suppose Christian is unaware that the human condition was quite a bit different a few thousand years before the days of Starbuck lattes.

[Bitsy]

I will never see it no matter how good it is. Not one red cent to that idiot. Sorry but he is an idiot.

Reading the movie script might have been the first time Bale ever read about Moses. <>

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sorry for the double post.

[GeronL]

This movie sounds about as Biblical as the Noah dreck

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Well put.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

At least “Left Behind” didn’t have contempt for its subject matter, like “Noah” did. It was just a standard Nicholas Cage movie.

[Psalm 73]

"I only hope that the comment is more a reflection of the actor's own ignorant bigotry..."

He's confusing the screen play with the inerrent Word of God.
Which I was guilty of us before He adopted me into His family....

This coming from a guy who attacked his mother and sister...

[El Cid]

Moses frees 400,000 slaves from Egypt

I believe it was well over a million. Over 600k men (of fighting age). So counting the women and children -- probably close to two million. A bunch.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Great, another Hollywood version of biblical events. Can’t wait to see the velociraptor battle.

[Dr. Thorne]

In one sentence Christian Bale loses several million movie-goers who looking forward to seeing this film. I'll stick with a real actor, Charlton Heston.
