It has come… the final trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings has been unleashed unto the world so that we may get one final glimpse of what director Ridley Scott hath created for movie-going audiences. It may still be a month before it actually hits our screens, but this trailer does promise a scale and spectacle in its rendering of the Biblical story of Moses.
A vast and distinctive land, gloomy in the moonlit night sky, turned black by the ominous shadow that creeps across the land, whilst the foreboding words of Christian Bale’s Moses warn Joel Edgerton’s Ramesses II of the nature of the growing darkness. This is our opening to the trailer and whilst these are words and images we have seen before in previous trailers, they still make an impression. The subsequent clips of argument, battle and bloody insurrection only strengthens the atmosphere of the film. This could actually be Ridley Scott getting back into the saddle of the war horse after the hideously dull Robin Hood.
Exodus: Gods and Kings does still have a fair bit to account for in terms of its casting, but in terms of its cinematic vision, it’s hard to deny the sheer visual power of chariot-led warfare as it thunders across the land backed by massive cascading waves about to crash on the charging combatants.
Will you see it? Will you boycott it? You make your own choice.
