NEW YORK (AP) – 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.
