Christian Bale has said drones would be sent out after biblical character Moses had he been real and alive today.
Bale, who plays Moses in Exodus: Of Gods and Kings, the forthcoming biblical epic directed by Ridley Scott, added that although Moses is depicted as a freedom fighter in the Bible, he is seen as a 'terrorist' by his enemies.
The says he came to these conclusions while studying religious books and scriptures from different religions, including the Bible, the Torah and the Koran.
Christian Bale said drones would be sent after 'terrorist' Moses had the character been real and alive today
'What would happen to Moses if he arrived today? Drones would be sent out after him, right?,' Bale said in an interview with ABC's Nightline.
'[He was] absolutely seen as a freedom fighter for the Hebrews, but a terrorist in terms of the Egyptian empire.'

They are sending rockets. What’s his point?
Bonus points for an American Psycho still.
I wouldn't want to be the drone pilot. I suspect it would not turn out well.
As for Moses being a "terrorist" - no. Murder? Yes [Exodus 2:11-12]. Terrorism? No.
Bale is an excellent actor. I don’t care what he thinks in life.
One of the finer scenes in American Psycho:

He was good also in Swing Kids.
Christian, I have high hopes you might actually READ the Bible instead of a Hollywood script about it.
Love your work, by the way.
Moses wasn’t protesting for reparations or free stuff, he just wanted to take his people and leave. Now if, say, Jessie and Al were to take that attitude about their people and Africa, well, I doubt there would be any drones.....
Somehow I’ve never heard of it. Now I’ll definitely have to check it out...thanks.
What makes an excellent actor or actress excellent is the ability to detach themselves from reality and exist in an alternate reality. Many choose to remain there when they're off the clock.
I will give Bale credit for visiting many of the victims in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting (it had occurred at a premier of one of his movies). By all accounts, he made a sincere effort to bring some comfort to the victims...but by most accounts, he's also a major PITA to those who have to work with him.
How in earth did he miss that God parted the Red Sea, turned the Nile to blood, sent hail to destroy crops, and killed the firstborn so His will would be done.
How did he miss all this?
Could be more a reflection on the people who work with him, considering most people in Hollywood are PITAs.
Listen to the rant he went on that I exerpted above. Note NSFW
Moses dwelt in the land of Midian 40 years and was about 83 years old when God spoke to him out of the Burning Bush. A more interesting movie would have been done if they had depicted Moses as 80 years old confronting Pharoah. Now Ben Kingsley did a version of Moses where he kept the stutter of Moses.(I am halt of speech).
God is always doing the opposite of what one would expect to prove his glory...giving Abraham a son when Abraham was 100 years old. Causing a virgin to conceive. Using an 80 year old man to free a nation. Using a single superhumanly strong man to destroy a philistine civilization in a single blow; while in its infancy, it could have grown to alter history and destroy Israel while becoming a force to rival future Rome.
God can handle drones. I mean he took care of the red sea.
Killed by drone? Could be...
The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a] 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days the breath[b] of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.
‘What would happen to Moses if he arrived today? Drones would be sent out after him, right?
The drones and those that sent them would suffer the same fate as Pharoah’s army.
Sorry, Christian Bale & Russel Crowe are no Charleston Heston.
Bruce Wayne is such an empty-headed twit.
