Warner Brothers may found someone to lead a Moses pic to the big screen. Twitch Film has reported director Steven Spielberg and Warner Brothers have entered formal negotiations for Spielberg to helm “God and Kings.” The film tells the story of Mose’s life from birth to death and all the events in between, including freeing the Hebrew slaves, the Ten Commandments, the Ten Plagues of Egypt and the Burning Bush. “Gods and Kings” is based on the Book of Exodus and other stories from the Old Testament. The film will be penned by Michael Green and Stuart Hazeldine. Green recently wrote the screenplay for the comic book film “Green Lantern.” He wrote for many television series, including “Kings,” “Heroes,” “Everwood” and “Smallville.” Hazeldine has a few writing credits, including “Paradise Lost,” “Exam” and “Riverworld.”Source: Twitch »

The battle of heaven and hell may be between Benjamin Walker’s Michael against Bradley Cooper’s Lucifer. Deadline is reporting that Legendary Pictures is in negotiations with Walker to play the archangel Michael in the action film “Paradise Lost.” The film is inspired by the John Milton poem about the Angelic War and the temptations of Adam and Eve. Deadline described the film with “cutting-edge visual effects that will make these battles resemble ‘300’ meets ‘Lord of the Rings.’” The script was originally written by Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi. The later drafts were contributed by Stuart Hazeldine (“Exam,” “Riverworld”), Lawrence Kasdan (“Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark”) and Ryan Condal. The film’s director Alex Proyas discussed certain plot details with Deadline. Proyas explained there will be three major battles in the film—one in Heaven, another in Hell and the last one in Eden. »
