LONDON (AP) β Actor Christian Bale, who stars in “Exodus: God and Kings,” says he felt a great responsibility portraying Moses.
The biblical epic opens in American theaters next week.
Bale says the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh is the “story of two men, one compelled by the voice of God and one believing that he is a god.” Bale notes it’s “a story that means an awful lot to a great deal of people” so he felt a lot of pressure to realistically show Moses’ struggle to fulfill God’s mission.
Actor Aaron Paul, who plays Joshua in the film, says he’s read the entire Bible because he grew up as the son of a Southern Baptist minister. Paul says his father was “very excited” that he got the role.
