Janty Yates on Creating Costumes for ‘Exodus: Gods and Men’

Variety: Those who have seen Janty Yates’ work with Ridley Scott in period epics like “Gladiator” and “Kingdom of Heaven” know they can expect a feast for the eyes that’s grounded in research, but also offers what she calls “a little twist.” Translation? A bit of extra sheen in a metal breastplate, or, in the case of Scott’s biblical saga, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” dressing Joel Edgerton’s Ramses entirely in gold, or making T-shaped garments for the plebes that look, in Yates’ parlance, “quite hot.”
