Warner Bros is developing a film about the Biblical King David.
The second project of its kind in the works, the film will be based on Rabbi David Wolpe's new book David: The Divided Heart, reports The Tracking Board.
"David is the most complex hero and anti-hero in the Bible," Wolpe told Variety. "He's a man who was a warrior, a prodigy, a poet, a king who united the nation and a man close to God who sins.
"I cannot imagine a more cinematic figure from the Bible."
