At least Omar Sharif has taken a break from the bridge column.
So who gets to play the Edward G. Robinson character? I vote Tom Arnold.

For what it is worth, the show was panned by TV Guide.
I will take gun crazy Heston over this any day.

From the Review:
"A Colossal Dud
The best news about ABC's unnecessary, instantly forgettable remake, The Ten Commandments (April 10 and 11 at 9 pm/ET), is that ABC is still planning its annual broadcast of the classic movie version. If you crave your yearly Commandments fix — and millions do — best to skip the drab new miniseries and wait until Saturday (April 15 at 7 pm/ET) for Cecil B. DeMille's enduringly enjoyable 1956 masterpiece of reverent kitsch.
This new version violates the primary commandment of epic filmmaking, biblical or otherwise: Thou shalt not bore.
As the mopiest Moses in film history, Dougray Scott seems emotionally constipated. Fits right in with a plodding adaptation that lacks narrative sweep, urgency and, most critical, passionate showmanship. Even the digital effects are a letdown. And the international cast seems intent merely to prove that bad acting is a universal language. As chosen ones go, choose Charlton Heston."

OK, I just had to past this little oddity of a photo. Yep, I sang at Charlton Heston's house on Christmas Eve a few years back and - wait for it - HELD THE STAFF FROM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. (It was very heavy.) Also an Oscar. (Also heavy.) Very nice (gun crazy, slightly doddering, old) man. Extremely gracious. We were invited to eat with all his guests. (Which we did. Yummy buffet.)
Also, I love the way Anne Baxter says "Moses" so much that I threw it in when I was playing "Hodel" in Fiddler: "Papa, how can you say that? What wrongs did Joseph do? And Abraham, and Moooohzhes? And they had troubles." hehehehe

He's my very good friend Norman! Well, he's not married, but he does have a boyfriend. I'll let you know if it doesn't last.

The name Doug-Ray sounds awful redneck.
ETA: Doug-Ray is too young to be playing Moses. When the 10 Commandments happened, Moses was over 80.

HA! Well, we were invited, after all, so that may have been a mitigating factor.

I am wondering if it is possible to remake a camp classic and do it well?
Does Nefirtiri call him "Moses" or does she call him "Moses Moses"?
I don't think it can be done.
