Bible movies anyone?
Maybe a return to ninja movies, like in the 80s.
Ninja bible movies.
Pharoh (Noriyuki Morita) sends his soldiers to enslave a village of Israeli peasants. The peasants flee their rice fields, lamenting 'Oy gevalt, Pharoh-san' as the soldiers burn their bamboo huts to the ground. Moses (Chow Yun-Fat) appears over the crest of a nearby hill, and quickly assesses the situation. Drawing his sword he proceeds to defend the villagers, taking down soldier after soldier, until he is betrayed and rendered unconscious by a blow from behind by Judas (Michelle Yeoh, but wearing a fake beard).
Moses is captured and bound, then dragged before Pharoh, whereup Moses challenges him to single combat. Not sure who'll win in the screenplay version, but I picture fights with the combatants effortlessly skimming atop the rice-filled Nile River, bounding from fig tree to fig tree, with the climax of the fight on top of a pyramid.
