Christian Bale: ‘Drones would be sent out’ against Moses today

Actor Christian Bale, who stars as biblical figure Moses in the new “Exodus” movie, is pretty sure he knows how Moses would be dealt with today: Drones.

To prepare for the role of Moses for the upcoming film, “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” Christian Bale studied the biblical story, and came to realize that Moses was a very complicated figure.

“He was so much more human than I had ever imagined… had all sort of temptations and indulgences that he had grown up with. [He was] absolutely seen as a freedom fighter for the Hebrews, but a terrorist in terms of the Egyptian empire,” Bale said in an interview with ABC’s “Nightline.”

“What would happen to Moses if he arrived today? Drones would be sent out after him, right?”

With President Obama’s current penchant for using drones, that’s probably not too far off of an assumption.
