Mel Gibson Must Be Rolling in His Grave
Mon, October 12, 2009 
I try not to constantly give crap to 20th Century Fox for their decision-making. It seems like a chunk of the time nerds are shitting on them 100% because it’s in fashion to do so. But then you read a piece like this from Variety. Can’t help but shake your head and say, “No, I was wrong. They deserve the shit they get from everyone.”
As per the trades, the studio has another cinematic undertaking of the life of Moses in development. It’s certainly an epic story can could be retold. Hebrew child, raised among Egyptians, grows up to discover his true heritage, becomes a great hero to his people, leads them out of slavery, yadda, yadda, yadda.
But what can make this interpretation worthwhile? Because as any studio executive knows, ya gotta get the young kids interested. So why not do it in the style of 300. Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Nope, I’m not making that up.
Anyone think this is even remotely a “Meh” idea? Any takers?

Who wouldn't want to see Moses laying a beatdown in the middle of parting the Red Sea!?
