Exodus: Gods and Kings isn’t the first Bible movie to be released in 3D — Darren Aronofsky’s Noah was released in that format in some foreign markets — but it is the first Bible movie to be shot in 3D, so it makes sense that there is now a featurette (first posted at Entertainment Focus) that focuses on Ridley Scott’s decision to shoot the film in that format. And, as luck would have it, the featurette includes at least thirteen new shots from the film itself. Check ’em all out below the jump.
First, here is the featurette itself:

…and Moses with his wife Zipporah…
…and Moses climbing a mountain, possibly towards the Burning Bush…
…and someone (Moses?) walking with a couple of horses…
…and Moses approaching Ramses with his arms out, as if to show that he isn’t concealing any weapons up his sleeves…
…and an Egyptian running in vain from one of the insect plagues…
…and flaming arrows (shot by the Hebrews?) streaking through the air…
…and Moses leading the Hebrews towards the Red Sea:
