From the numerous trailers available on t'internet it looks like the green screen and CGI effects will disguise much of the location backdrops and scenery.

There are behind the scenes clips in this B-roll feature which show much of the backgrounds from the scenes shot in Almeria, Spain and the flight from Egypt sequences which were filmed at various Fuerteventura locations such as Sotavento, Cofete and Cotillo.

But be warned - you may consider this a spoiler - so don't click the link if you don't want to spoil the illusion that Mr Scott and his team have created.

How can there be spoilers?

Everyone knows Moses built an arc, lived inside a whale then killed Goliath with a crossbow.

The bit where Moses chopped the Egyptian guy's arm off with his light saber in Chaplin's was awesome!

Didn't I say 'no spoilers' ?

You've ruined it for me now.

I'm going off in a huff to do a bit of sulking.

BOX OFFICE GURU WRAPUP: EXODUS CLAIMS BOX OFFICE CROWN
by Gitesh Pandya | Sunday, Dec. 14 2014
   
Ridley Scott's latest historical epic - the Moses tale Exodus: Gods and Kings - opened at number one at the North American box office topping another sluggish frame. The Fox release debuted to an estimated $24.5M from 3,503 locations for a good $6,994 average. It was a nice start for a non-franchise film debuting in mid-December, a typically slow period when Christmas shopping distracts a large number of adults.

Reviews were generally negative for the Christian Bale-led pic which had 3D and premium large format options. The opening was about even with the $25.7M of 2007's The Golden Compass, another effects-heavy adventure film released in the first half of December. That big-budget movie finished with a domestic total less than three times its opening weekend figure. Older males made up the primary audience for Exodus, as expected. Studio research showed that 54% of the audience was male and 65% was over 25. 44% of the gross came from the 3D screens.

The ancient Egypt-set film opened well behind the $43.7M of March's Biblical adventure Noah starring Russell Crowe, however it was never expected to reach that level due in part to a slower play period and harsher reviews. The opening weekend of Exodus accounted for 30% of all ticket sales across the entire Top 20 compared to 32% for Noah's debut.

The road ahead for Moses could be troubling for two main reasons. First, paying audiences are not exactly liking what Scott has put together. The CinemaScore grade was a lackluster B- and the audience score from Flixster users is a weak 40%. Secondly, direct competition comes in the form of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies which will steal away moviegoers looking for epic effects-driven adventure on the big screen when it unspools on Tuesday night with 7pm shows. International markets will be key for a film like Exodus which already began to open in overseas territories a week before North America. Those markets grossed $18.8M this weekend with many more key debuts to still come from now through late January.

Over TWO THOUSAND years on, and there's still as much hatred between the peoples.

isleswing - your post implies the hatred is between the Egyptians and Palestinians - which I'm sure you didn't intend.

Thank you for that, I didn't think of reading it that way. Not intended. I'll go back to my first post.
