We've heard about projects of literally Biblical proportions in the form of adaptations ofThe Bible Codeand a planned 300-like retelling of thestory of Moses, and now another Biblical tale is headed to the big screen.Heat Visionreports directorScott Derrickson, behindThe Exorcism of Emily Roseand the remake ofThe Day the Earth Stood Still, is set to helmGoliath, a period action movie based on thefamiliar taleofDavid vs. Goliath. While the movie is supposed to be set in historical times, it will have a contemporary feel not unlike300with a spirit that apparently embodiesBourne Identity. But, I'm not really sure what that means.
Anyway, our story begins with the warrior Goliath is sent to track down the foretold king of the Israelites as the young shepherd David suddenly finds himself in the middle of an epic chase and adventure that leaves him fighting not just for his own life, but for the very existence of his family and people. Of course the two forces meet in a huge battle as the underdog David is forced to match brawn with Goliath. The script comes from John D. Payne and Patrick McKay who don't seem to have any widely known previous work to their names. Personally, I see this as a film in the same vein asClash of the Titans, and considering Derrickson's re-imagining ofThe Day the Earth Stood Still, I'm hoping he has better skill in the epic arena.Anyone interested?
