I hope it’s not a hatchet-job like Noah. I would love to see a well-made film faithful to the biblical narrative.

From the "Trailer" it appears NOT to be consistent with the Bible's account. This "Moses" looks like a warrior. The Bible shows Moses to be a meek prophet of God, not a sword wielding gladiator.

The Charleston Heston epic (1956) also diverges greatly from the Bible account. The Bible makes it very clear that the entire thrust is to stage the Passover and the blood atonement via the symbolic slain lambs. And yet, Cecil B. DeMille comes out on stage before the start of the movie ("The 10 Commandments") and tells us it is a "struggle of a people to gain their freedom." This completely misses the mark. All God's signs and wonders were to point to the real passover, Jesus Christ.

For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. 1 Corinthians 5:7b
Just as the '56 film does not close the loop with the NT, I am sure that this 2014 offering will diverge even further.

Moses wasn’t the sharpest tool in the drawer. The dialogue between God and Moses is actually funny, and Aaron gets impressed into service because God loses His cool with Moses.

God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

You're kidding, right?
