Ten Commandments spoof in the works

I don’t subscribe to Variety, so I don’t know all the details, but I can make out enough of this article‘s first sentence to figure out that David Wain, director of Wet Hot American Summer (2001), will soon be shooting The Ten, a spoof of The Ten Commandments (1956) starring Paul Rudd, Amanda Peet and Jessica Alba.

Which reminds me, I have still never seen Wholly Moses! (1980), the Dudley Moore vehicle that came out shortly after Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979; my comments) blazed the trail for Bible-epic spoofs. From what I’ve heard, though, it doesn’t sound like I’m missing anything. I have, however, seen the brief Moses bits in Mel Brooks’s History of the World, Part I (1981).
