HOLLYWOOD - The slow simmer between Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros in regards to a potential Moses biopic has been stewing for a while. It seems the a deal could be in place next week that would see Spielberg in the director's chair in spring 2013 for Gods and Kings. Deadline says the film would have "the gritty reality" of Saving Private Ryan, referring to Moses a "the warrior to beat all warriors." The site also quotes a source saying that the movie would be a Braveheart-ish version of the Moses story. Gods and Kings would follow Moses from his adoption in infancy and culminate with the Ten Commandments.
