New Ten Commandments TV mini-series

I just found out from IMDB.com that Robert Halmi Sr, executive producer of such lavish television productions as Merlin, Gulliver's Travels, and The Odyssey, is developing a TV mini-series version of The Ten Commandments. He says he's not doing a remake of the Charleton Heston version. Rather, he's going to consult Biblical and historical sources to make a "realistic, truthful presentation of Moses and the Jewish people's exodus from Egypt and their travel to Mt. Sinai". Hallmark Entertainment is providing the budget of $20 million.
