Good news, God-fearing animation fans: You will soon have something besides Veggie Tales to watch, thanks to the efforts of Promenade Pictures. A whole lot more, actually, according to a report published by Variety yesterday.
Promenade’s got tons o’ scriptural fun in store for moviegoers, in the form of a twelve-part, CGI-animated series titled Epic Stories of the Bible — and the party starts on October 26, when the first installment in the series, The Ten Commandments, is slated to open. As you might have guessed, this isn’t a terribly big-budget affair, at least not initially; Commandments is opening in a limited number of theaters (Variety puts the number between 500-800). But what a cast. From the article:
“The Ten Commandments” is narrated by Ben Kingsley, with Elliott Gould voicing God, Christian Slater as Moses and Alfred Molina as Ramses.
Personally, we always sort of assumed God looked like Barry Gibb and sounded like Patrick Stewart, but hey, Elliott Gould is cool too. And Christian Slater as Moses? Stroke of genius.
