Scott Derrickson in talks for David vs. Goliath

Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox aren’t the only ones looking to bring a classic Biblical tale to the big-screen (here). Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Relativity Media is currently talking with Scott Derrickson (Day the Earth Stood Still remake) to direct a film about the battle between David vs. Goliath. It’s said the film will also be in the spirit of Zack Snyder’s 300.

Almost everyone knows the story, but here’s a quick recap: When the fierce warrior Goliath is sent to track down the foretold king of the Israelites, the young shepherd David gets thrust into an epic chase and adventure fighting for his own life, and his loved ones, in a battle between the young man and the giant. The script will be written by John D. Payne & Patrick McKay, and Ryan Kavanaugh. Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen will be producing with Tucker Tooley are executive producer.
