Like the other Biblical movie that was recently released, "Noah", one of the main attractions will be the use of dazzling special effects to highlight the famous story of the Jewish exodus from Egypt.

In a similar style to the more famous exodus story starring Charlton Heston as Moses, "The Ten Commandments," Christian Bale will be playing God's messenger in the upcoming adaption.

The Hollywood star, who got his start in the TV movie "Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna" back in 1986, and swept away our hearts with his portrayal of Jack Kelly in "Newsies", is most recently known for his portrayal of the Dark Knight in Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy.

At a recent preview of the movie, Bale told the audience, "You can't out Heston Charlton Heston". He emphasized that this retelling of the Biblical story will be "very different" from previous versions of the tale, according to Variety Magazine. Bale said that his portrayal of Moses will focus on the complex aspects of the character, stating that Moses was a troubled and tumultuous man. (Photo via Youtube)

The movie, directed by Ridley-Scott, presents the story complete with big battle scenes and aerial panoramas of ancient cities, rustic settlements and military camp, all rendered in the new technologically available 3D CGI glory.
