The Old Testament is having a moment. Variety reports that a new ten-part Ten Commandments miniseries, commissioned by cable network Wgn America, has joined the Exoduses and Noahs of the world to bring a little divinity into our lives. The scripted series will boast a distinguished roster of directors, including Lee Daniels, Gus Van Sant, Jim Sheridan, Wes Craven and Michael Cera. Before embarking on a game of One Of Those Things Is Not Like The Others, it's worth pointing out that Cera has directed a clutch of shorts and has biblical previous with Harold Ramis comedy Year One. He's arguably Hollywood's leading authority on ox-coverting.The contemporary-set biblishingle will be overseen by producers Bruce Cohen and Bob Weinstein, with each episode focusing on a different story and commandment - think of the Three Colours trilogy model. The pair want the directors to bring a personal stamp to their episode.
