20th Century Fox has unveiled a new trailer for director Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated film, EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS. The movie stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, John Turturro, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Mendelsohn and Ben Kingsley.

This is a film that requires an IMAX viewing and one that would have been presented in Cinemascope years ago. The scale of it looks like Cecil B. DeMille’s THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and going by the visuals from this new trailer, Scott has mastered Epic as an artform.

20th Century Fox previewed parts of the film for the media on Tuesday. Variety’s Awards Editor Tim Gray writes the film falls into the,

“they don’t make ‘em like that anymore” category, with big battle scenes and aerial panoramas of ancient cities, rustic settlements and military camps, all rendered in 3D CGI glory. And the footage really shifted into high gear with the depiction of four of the 10 plagues. (Spoiler alert: The locusts steal the show.)”

How it will do come Oscar time?

“Impossible to tell, based on snippets. But all the artisan contributions looked mighty impressive.”

Scott has surrounded himself with such artists as production designer Arthur Max (GLADIATOR), cinematographer Dariusz Wolski (PROMETHEUS), editor Billy Rich (PROMISED LAND), costume designer Janty Yates (GLADIATOR), composer Alberto Iglesias (TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY) and screenwriter Steven Zaillian (SCHINDLER’S LIST).

From acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) comes the epic adventure EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS, the story of one man’s daring courage to take on the might of an empire.  

Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 400,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.

EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS hits theaters everywhere on DECEMBER 12, 2014.
