Filmmaker Ridley Scott, popular for his work in Gladiator, Aliens and Prometheus, says his upcoming film Exodus: Gods and Kings is the biggest project of his career, even budget-wise.
“In terms of the metaphorical aspects, yes, this is the biggest project I’ve done. Even budget wise, it’s probably the biggest, yeah. But I didn’t approach it as my biggest film. I never do that. I always approach it from the point of view of the characters of the story,” Scott said in a statement.
Presumably the most anticipated movie of the year, this biblical-inspired epic stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley.
“One of the things that have come off really well is the reality of the characters. You wouldn’t call it an effects film even though in many ways a lot of what was needed is extraordinary. There were things I couldn’t build. But in today’s world the effects are so good that it looks real, effectively,” he said.
