Ridley Scott Claims Exodus is his Biggest Epic!

Oscar winning Ridley Scott, famous for his trademark style of larger than life epic movies, impeccable storytelling and breathtaking visual effects is back with his most ambitious movie yet- Exodus: Gods and Kings.

Presumably the most anticipated movie of the year, this biblical inspired epic stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley. Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) rising up against the Egyptian Pharaoh – Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 400,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues and destruction.

 After acclaimed and larger than life movies like the Oscar winning Gladiator & sci fi thrillers like Alien & Prometheus, Scott claims that Exodus:Gods and Kings is going to be his biggest epic ever.

Says Scott, “In terms of the metaphorical aspects, yes [this is the biggest project I’ve done]. Even budgetarily it’s probably the biggest, yeah. But I didn’t approach it as my biggest. I never do that. I always approach it from the point of view of the characters, of the story. One of the things that has come off really well is the reality of the characters. You wouldn’t call it an effects film even though in many ways a lot of what was needed is extraordinary. There were things I couldn’t build. But in today’s world the effects are so good that it looks real, effectively.”

Exodus:Gods and Kings is being released in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam on 5th December by 20th Century Fox, the studio behind some of the biggest spectacle movies like Avatar, Life of Pi & Titanic. 

Interestingly, Exodus: Gods and Kings will release one week prior to the US release, giving Indian audiences a chance to catch this much anticipated period adventure a week earlier!!
