Exodus: Gods and Kings: complete soundtrack now online, plus a new featurette on the character of Moses

exodusgodsandkings-141110Last night, I posted a link to a track from the Exodus: Gods and Kings soundtrack. Today, I’ve got something even better: the entire score, which is available for streaming via the German website Cinema Musica, but only until December 1. Check it out while you can.

In other news, the British Board of Film Classification has given the film a 12A rating, and it reveals that the film is 150 minutes and 3 seconds long. That would make it the fourth-longest theatrical release of Ridley Scott’s career, behind American Gangster, Gladiator and 1492: Conquest of Paradise, the longest of which was only seven minutes longer than Exodus.

The film itself was screened for the Screen Actors Guild in New York last week, and it will screen again in Los Angeles tomorrow. No formal reviews have popped up yet, but individuals who attended the New York screening are already raving about it.

Finally, Coming Soon has posted a new featurette on Moses:

Here are some slightly fuzzier than usual screencaps of the new shots (I had to capture them on the fly, as pausing the video put a big “play” icon in the middle of the screen).

First, a couple new shots from the opening Battle of Kadesh:

A couple new shots of Moses’ and Ramses’ final showdown before the tsunami (we saw a much wider shot of this showdown in a TV spot two weeks ago):

Kind of makes you wonder how Moses is going to survive, doesn’t it?
