The Bible epic “Exodus: Gods and Kings” will bring down reigning box-office champ “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay” and win this weekend with a three-day opening of around $25 million. But it won’t match the March opening of the faith-based action saga “Noah” and isn’t going to lead the slumping box office out of the bull rushes. “Exodus,” which is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Christian Bale as Moses, brought in $8.6 million from 3,505 theaters in its debut Friday.

20th Century Fox has released a new Exodus: Gods and Kings featurette online.  The film stars Christian Bale as Moses and Joel Edgerton as the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses and chronicles what happens when Moses rises up and leads the slaves out of Egypt.  In this featurette, Bale and Edgerton relate anecdotes from the set and explain why they admire director Ridley Scott, but I'm still struggling to get excited for this movie.  Edgerton can talk about how the battles are about "ethics", but it looks like they're really about a big visual effects budget.  This movie seems to be a biblical epic remov
