Steven Spielberg has already been looked at to direct the Moses epic Gods and Kings, but now he is in the final negotiations with the studio.
According to Deadline, Spielberg is close to signing on to the project, but it would take some time to actually get made. The director has just wrapped Lincoln and is about to start work on Robopocalypse. He still might be able to do the film in 2013.
There are very few details about the project at the moment. The script from Stuart Hazeldine and Michael Green is said to include the entire life of Moses from birth to death and will be a gritty true reality story that would tell "a real warrior story."
At this point it's being stressed that there is no intention to film in 3D. The studio wants a more Saving Private Ryan looking film rather than a remake of The 10 Commandments.
