Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

According  to the latest internet reports,  Christian Bale may be doing the 40 days and 40 nights journey in the Twentieth Century Fox’s version of the biblical story of Moses. This is the latest news to surface about the colossal project titled Exodus, where Ridley Scott stands at the helm with a script from Bill Collage and Adam Cooper.

Moses is the Hebrew child who was spare from sacrifice of the oppressing Pharaohs is the bible.  As an adult he killed an Egyptian and in order to escape curtain death he fled ffrom Egypt.  God ordered Moses to go back and free his people from bondage, which he did. When leading his people to the promise land, God parted the Red Sea to make way for Moses and his people and when the Egyptian army followed, God closed the red sea killing the Egyptian army.  As law for his newly freed people, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments.

Bale is best known for his role of Batman in, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Night Rises.

There is a race to the big screen between two upcoming Moses movie, Fox’s Exodus and Warner Bros.’ Gods and Kings. At this point, Exodus is leading the way due to the fact that Gods and Kings don’t even have a director yet.

Bale playing Moses has not been made official at this time. Update on this story coming soon…

 

 

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
