‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ Banned In Egypt & Morocco

Deadline: Deadline first reported weeks ago that Fox’s revisionist take on Moses and his flight from Egypt would struggle to get past censors in the country, where it is generally prohibited to depict prophets and religious figures. Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, for example, was banned earlier this year after Egypt’s Al-Azhar, the highest religious authority in Sunni Islam, criticized Aronofsky’s film. Now Scott’s film has come in for a bashing from head of the Egyptian state censorship board, Abdul Sattar Fathi.
