It. is directed by Benjamin Ross, with Emre Sahin, Kelly McPherson, Sarah Wetherbee, Fikret Manoglu, Brian Nelson, and Sam Anzel serving as executive producers.

“Anyone who has seen The Ten Commandments as a child was well aware of the more epic elements of the tale,” Sahin and McPherson said in a statement (via Tudum). “The burning bush, the plagues, Passover, the Red Sea, and, of course, the Ten Commandments. What really drew us in was the mystery of Moses’ inner life, his struggles with his own identity, his self-doubt, his humanness.”
