Vulture reports that Hollywood is producing two movies about the Exodus (and not the Bob Marley album). At Warner Brothers, a couple of cult sci-fi screenwriters wrote the script to a film co-produced by Friend-of-Tablet-Magazine Matti Leshem. And at 20th Century Fox, there is something in the pipeline called Untitled Moses Project, which is also the name of a 1980s Milwaukee hardcore band (I’m kidding, I think).
In case you weren’t sure where I was going with this, the Vulture post is entitled, “Everything’s Coming Up Moses”—which was also the name of the Rachel Shukert-authored Passover pageant that Tablet Magazine produced this past spring. Perhaps one of the Hollywood big shots would consider the inclusion of the title track in their film?
