The Film Exodus: Gods and Kings could have been epic. It stars Sigourney Weaver, Joel Edgerton and Christian Bale, the new Ridley Scott movie has already got controversies over getting white actors to portray ancient Egyptians. Some have boycotted the film, however the Academy Award-nominated director has fairly maintained silence on the criticism, until the interview with Variety, recently. Scott explained:

"I can't mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such. I'm just not going to get it financed. So the question doesn't even come up."

There's a lot to unwrap, but its valuable noting that the director's perspective is noting without merits, film creators, even those working with major productions, have terrible issues in finding funds for the film. As the film industry becomes more dependent on revenue from international countries, where top stars are still an important draw, the producers need big names on the film to get a green light.

A very expensive film like Exodus needs to recover its race to the top of the box office and its budget. Which is estimated almost $140 million budget, it is logical why the director feels the stress to deliver on the film's guarantee. On the other hand, that is where all racist Biblical epic stops for forgiveness.

The upheaval against this movie, Joel Edgerton, Aarol Paul, Sigourney Weaver and Christian Bale, are all white, most of the supporting male cast, roles with dialogues, except of the half Indian actor Ben Kingsley. Dark Skinned supporting actors and actresses are treated are just scattered in the background, like furniture, like props and they are mute. The Visual representation of the speaking characters was 25.9% minorities. Ironically speaking, the film is done in Africa.
