<\/a>Ridley Scott\u2019s Moses movie may be further along than we thought. Box Office Mojo<\/a> posted a few new release dates to its schedule yesterday, and one of them was for Exodus<\/a><\/i>, the Bible epic that Scott has been developing with 20th Century Fox for the past year or two. If the site is to be believed, Exodus<\/i> will be coming to a theatre near you on December 12, 2014 \u2014 or about a year and a half from now. And that would make it one of two Bible epics hitting the big screen next year, the other being Darren Aronofsky\u2019s Noah<\/a><\/i>, which comes out March 28. Interestingly, that<\/i> film stars Russell Crowe, who has appeared in four of Scott\u2019s last five films and sort of owes his stardom to an even earlier Scott-directed sword-and-sandals flick, Gladiator<\/a><\/i> (2000) \u2014 so who knows, if Scott calls on Crowe\u2019s services again, Crowe could end up finding himself in both<\/i> of next year\u2019s Bible epics.
