Bale Scott defend biblical film casting
Christian Bale and Ridley Scott
The biblical film Exodus: Gods and Kings has come under fire for casting white actors in the film’s main roles as Egyptians.
But director Ridley Scott has a message for those trying to boycott the film: “I say get a life.” Scott says he’s had to assemble the “best possible” cast for a film “on a budget of this scale.”
That means investors like big name actors not local international stars.
Exodus: Gods and Kings cost an estimated $140 million dollars.
British actor Christian Bale who stars as Moses understands the frustration but sees the business side of getting films made.
He feels audiences can play a part in helping more international actors get cast in major films. If people start supporting the films “financiers in the market will follow.”
