Meanwhile, a recent interview with Bale revealed that his take on Moses wasn't inspired by the iconic Charlton Heston performance from The Ten Commandments. The Batman Begins star revealed that he took his queues from Monty Python's Life of Brian!

"The point being, anything where you are approaching it from a very earnest point of view can unintentionally become The Life of Brian," Bale explained, according to The Wrap. "You have to have humor with something that is as earnest as this, and as heavyweight as this. You have to have an element of comedy in your everyday life during filming, otherwise it becomes too depressing."

Here is the official synopsis of Exodus: Gods and Kings (via Slash Film):

From acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) comes the epic adventure "Exodus: Gods and Kings," the story of one man's daring courage to take on the might of an empire. Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises 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.
