What you may need to know:
1. First came Russell Crowe as Noah (2014)… Now Christian Bale is Moses!
2. It’s directed by Ridley Scott. That used to mean something, kids.
3. That’s Aussie actor Joel Edgerton as Egyptian pharoah Rhamses. Seriously.
4. Look! It’s Egyptian Sigourney Weaver!
5. It co-stars John ‘Nobody fucks with the Jesus’ Turturro, ideally channelling his role from The Big Lebowski (1998).
6. It also stars Aaron ‘Jessie Pinkman’ Paul – presumably absent from the trailer to avoid further hilarity, following Egyptian Sigourney Weaver – and Ben Kingsley. Inevitably.
7. Ridley’s planning a King David movie next. GET FASSBENDER!
8. Broadsheet Prognosis: Needs musical numbers.
Release Date: December
Thanks John Gallen

“We are in ICU department now with Gavin. We are so happy to share some good news with everyone for a change. The Amazing Surgeon Dr Hayes Jordan and her team were able to remove both tumors from Gavin’s pelvis and also preform the HIPEC Treatment as planned.
“We had been told that Gavin’s bladder and Colon would have to be removed and he would have 2 permanent bags but when they went in they were able to get them out without touching the bladder and colon.”John and Jayne Glynn parents of Gavin Glynn.
