Rumors have been rumbling, and now Twitch seems to be confident: Steven Spielberg<\/strong> appears to be in talks with Warner Brothers to direct a film about the life of Moses.<\/p>\n

They say:<\/p>\n

Scripted by Michael Green and Stuart Hazeldine the film aims to tell the entire story of Moses\u2019 life, all the way from birth to death, which covers a great number of episodes \u2013 the freeing of the Hebrew slaves, the plagues in Egypt, receiving the ten commandments \u2013 each of which could easily fill their own film.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s the full report<\/a>, and here\u2019s a link to the original rumblings at Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My review of the career of Steven Spielberg, which mentions this possibility, was turned in to Christianity Today<\/em> a while ago, and it\u2019ll be available soon. But maybe I should try to get a last-minute revision turned in\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
