MUMBAI: Looks like Ang Lee is going through a nice phase. Soon after he received the best director Oscar award for Life of Pi, the director found himself a TV project.

Lee is committed to making his TV directorial debut with the pilot for FX‘s Tyrant from award-winning producers Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff.

And now it has come to light that Lee has been approached by Warner Bros to direct a biblical epic on Moses titled Gods and Kings. This after the studio failed to strike a deal with Steven Spielberg who was earlier tipped to direct the film.

The 58-year-old filmmaker is said to be intrigued by the offer but things are yet to move to a formal level, it is said.

Penned by Stuart Hazeldine and Michael Green, Gods and Kings is based on the Book of Exodus and other stories from the Old Testament. It follows the life of Moses from his birth to death.
