Exorcism of Emily Rose Director Takes on Biblical 'Goliath' Tale

We've heard about projects of literally Biblical proportions in the form of adaptations of The Bible Code and a planned 300-like retelling of the story of Moses, and now another Biblical tale is headed to the big screen. Heat Vision reports director Scott Derrickson, behind The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, is set to helm Goliath, a period action movie based on the familiar tale of David vs. Goliath. While the movie is supposed to be set in historical times, it will have a contemporary feel not unlike 300 with a spirit that apparently embodies Bourne Identity.
