The first trailer for the Ridley Scott-directed biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings has landed and between its haunting music and story of Moses that we all think we know, this thing could seriously rock when it lands in theaters December 12.

Christian Bale is Moses, a man who was adopted into the upper society of Egypt and became great friends and almost brothers with Ramses (Joel Edgerton).

Upon learning his true fate (he's Jewish) and seeing how the Egyptians have made Jews slaves, Moses has a change of heart and, with God on his side, launches a series of plagues on Egypt that paralyzes the nation and brings them to their knees. 

We've seen The Ten Commandments, and knowing the budget, technology and acting talent (Aaron Paul and Sigourney Weaver also star), we're wondering if Exodus: Gods and Kings could replace it as the Moses story. Now, is that sacrilege?  

Check out Scott's most recent work and watch Prometheus online.
