Exodus: Gods and Kings - Featurettes

Director Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven) talks about world of his new film, 'Exodus: Gods and Kings'. The film follows the life of Moses (Christian Bale), and works on "the complexity of his character". Scott also talks about what drew him to the material, namely, the "beauty in the massive scale of it". He discusses the process of using computers to turn four thousand extras look like twenty thousand soldiers. Aside from the battle scenes, we see evidence of the biblical plagues that come from the original story at work. 

Arthur Max (Se7en, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven), the production designer for 'Exodus: Gods and Kings' and frequent collaborator with Ridley Scott, talk about the locations that served for the film. Shooting began in Pinewood Studios in London, which served as the site for all of the interior shots for the film. Scott himself then talks about filming in Almeria, Spain, and Max explains how the crew was drawn to Spain because of the "texture and colour of the landscape". The scenes involving the parting of the Red Sea, were filmed in the Canary Islands. The film is set for a December, 2014 release date.
