The new 'Ten Commandments'

It looks like the Entertainment community wants to cash in on the success of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ". ABC is set to produce a new four-hour $20 million dollar miniseries about Moses and the Ten Commandments. This article also states, "Another "Ten Commandments" miniseries is in the works at the FX cable channel, but the 10-hour project, executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, is a contemporary take on the ancient rules and is set in modern America." It is really difficult to get excited about these Hollywood versions of the Bible.
