I can't wait for the part when he growls at the water to let him pass.

Looks pretty good. I hope it it's a pretty faithful adaptation.

I still get goosebumps at most adaptations of the burning bush scene, when God reveals his name.

I really liked the animated Prince of Egypt story, so I'm interested in this. Hopefully they play it off wrathfully and don't get all sentimental with god.

Little "g?" Really? One character in all of moviedom (and storydom for that matter) that you feel the need to spell without capitalization?

Let's not get carried away. It's not as if he wrote "batman"

No, that would be sacrilege.

What's wrong with it? It's not prime (and crowded) summer real estate, but it's the second best. It's an epic and religious movie released around a religious holiday. Seems perfectly appropriate to me.

It's the origin of Passover. An April 2015 release would be more appropriate.

Sort of like releasing a Christmas movie in August.

Ah, I saw it from the studio perspective, and it does make sense.

It's the story of a Jewish holiday, released for a Christian holiday four months away, yes. :D

They're going to market it as a Hannukah movie.

:paranoid:

Well, they could have waited for 2015 I guess. Captain America: The Winter Soldier officially moved the beginning of summer to April, anyway.
