Steven Spielberg keen to direct biblical epic 'Gods And Kings'

Steven Spielberg has reportedly been eyeing a Warner Bros project called Gods and Kings, which chronicles the life of Moses as told in the Old Testament of the Bible.

According to Movieline, the 64-year-old film maker is very interested in directing the movie, which follows Moses from a baby in a basket on the river, through parting the Red Sea and leading the Jews out of Egypt, to receiving the Ten Commandments.

Whether Spielberg directs Gods and Kings or not, it will depend largely on his schedule, the New York Post reported.

He is currently filming Lincoln, which stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th President.
