MANILA, Philippines- Oscar winner Christian Bale leads a stellar cast as Moses in “Exodus: Gods and Kings” directed by acclaimed Ridley Scott, an epic adventure about the story of one man's daring courage to take on the might of an empire.

Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.

The film also stars Aaron Paul as Joshua a former slave who becomes his right hand man in the uprising. Joel Edgerton is Ramses, the ‘living God’ who sees Moses, raised as his brother, lead a rebellion against him.

Sigourney Weaver – who created the iconic role of Ripley in Scott’s acclaimed science fiction thriller Alien – plays Ramses’ mother, Queen Tuya. Sir Ben Kingsley as the scholar, Nun. John Turturro stars as Seti, Ramses’ father.

Filmed at Pinewood Studios in London and on location in Almeria, Spain and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, Exodus: Gods & Kings is the remaining of one of the greatest stories ever told by one of the best filmmakers working today.

“Exodus: Gods and Kings” opens in cinemas nationwide on December 5 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
