Recently, I am not a good Christian by any stretch of the imagination. Still, this is a non starter for me. You do not re-work, rewrite, or whatever. Wanna tell a Bible story, tell a Bible story. Don't write a "creative" work and call it a Bible story.
Plus when you do a movie based on a Bible story, for all purposes, you are giving a sermon. If a movie is done on a Bible story, for goodness sakes, be faithful to the Bible.
Especially with an environmental emphasis which I have heard in intertwined with the Bible story.
