First look at Wonder Project's 'Moses' special revealed. Wonder Project has announced "The Old Stories: Moses," a three-part companion special set in the world of "House of David," along with a new trailer and first-look images, including Moses' standoff with Pharaoh. Produced by Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios, the special is created by filmmaker Jon Erwin and stars Ben Kingsley as Moses and O-T Fagbenle as Pharaoh. The project is set to premiere on Wonder Project's subscription channel on Prime Video in the United States this spring, with a global rollout to follow at a later date. "Moses is one of the most iconic figures in history, and his story still resonates with us today," Erwin said in a statement shared with The Christian Post. "We set out to tell 'The Old Stories: Moses' with a cinematic awe and scale that feels both epic and personal. I am especially proud of the cast performances, and I can't wait for people to see it on Wonder Project." The three-part special expands the universe of House of David, exploring events that shaped Israel before David's rise to the throne. The story follows a young shepherd who sees his own future reflected in the courage, failures and obedience of those who came before him. Additional cast members include Louis Ferreira, Anna Khaja and Rada Rae. In the trailer for the special, Moses is shown standing before the burning bush as described in Exodus 3. "I heard a voice," Kingsley's Moses says. "He knew my name. He told me I must return to Egypt, to the place of my birth, to where my people are in bondage, slaves." The trailer also shows a series of key moments in Moses' story, including Pharaoh's daughter discovering baby Moses in a basket in the river, his standoff with Pharaoh as he commands the Egyptian leader to "let my people go," and the parting of the Red Sea and the 12 plagues. Erwin serves as director, writer and executive producer of the special. Jon Gunn and Justin Rosenblatt also executive produce for Wonder Project, with Gavin J. Behrman as co-executive producer and Adam Abel as producer. In a recent interview with CP, Gunn emphasized the importance of maintaining authenticity in faith-based and biblical epics, a quality he emphasized is essential to the genre's success. "The purity is what makes it work," he said. "Studios often try to duplicate authenticity, but it doesn't have the soul. We focus on what we call 'epic authenticity,' stories with real emotional truth, made with genuine passion." "If I don't feel moved by it, I don't want to make it," Gunn said. "We look for stories that make you want to tell your friends, 'You have to see this.'" He added that audiences, and particularly those of faith, are quick to recognize when a story lacks sincerity. "They're smart," Gunn said. "You can feel if someone is trying to sell you something versus something that's pure and authentic." The three-part special will premiere this spring.

Vu Technologies joins forces with Wonder Project to redefine ai-powered filmmaking in its hit series House of David. News provided by. TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - After over 40 million viewers tuned in for the first season of the hit series, House of David, Vu Technologies is announcing its partnership with Wonder Project on the highly anticipated second season, which debuted exclusively on Wonder Project's new subscription service on Prime Video on October 5. By integrating cutting-edge generative AI tools, cinema-robotics and virtual production technologies, the second season could set a new standard for cinematic storytelling for the future. The new series leverages several generative AI technologies like Runway's Gen-3 Alpha for Image to Video Generation, Vu's Gen AI Orchestrator and NVIDIA accelerated computing, which represent a major leap forward in production efficiency and visual innovation. In an interview with Variety magazine, series creator Jon Erwin broke down the opening sequence stating that, "The entire scene is driven with generative AI tools as the horsepower to the scene. What we found is that these tools work best when combined with traditional tools." Vu CEO Tim Moore added that, "The combination of generative AI backgrounds and live practical effects creates a type of photorealism that is going to blow audiences away in Season 2." Vu Technologies, a leader in virtual production, provided House of David with a state-of-the-art technology suite, including two massive Vu One LED walls, a 50ft x 20ft Aputure Infinimat System, NVIDIA RTX(TM) 6000 Ada GenerationGPUs, several remotely controllable RED Cameras and their proprietary Vu Studio software. In combination with Mark Roberts Motion Control, RED's high-performance camera systems and Aputure's industry-leading lighting solutions, these advanced cinema tools provide Wonder Project with unparalleled creative capabilities. "Jon and his team are pushing the boundaries on how films will be made in the future. From quickly generating assets in AI that are based on the reference photography on Season 1, to iterating changes live on set, this type of hybrid AI workflow allows production companies to be more creative and achieve blockbuster film results for a fraction of the cost and time," said Tim Moore. Runway, a pioneering media and entertainment company, is bringing its frontier AI research and multi-modal models to production. Known for enhancing workflows for top studios, brands, and creators, Runway's technology has been instrumental in projects ranging from Madonna's Celebration Tour visuals to major brand campaigns for Under Armour and New Balance. Their AI-driven tools enable filmmakers to push the boundaries of visual storytelling like never before. "House of David is a perfect example of what can be achieved with Runway's tools - captivating visuals and ambitious storytelling, all at a fraction of the cost," Runway co-founder and CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela says. "Combining new technology with traditional filmmaking techniques is something all creators can benefit from." House of David is more than just an ambitious series - it is a groundbreaking exploration of the future of filmmaking. By blending AI-powered tools with traditional filmmaking techniques, the project is setting a precedent that could influence the future of filmmaking. A new behind-the-scenes case study video was recently produced in Greece, offering exclusive insights into the revolutionary workflows and creative breakthroughs driving this project. This deep dive into AI-augmented filmmaking will provide audiences and industry professionals alike with a firsthand look at how technology is transforming storytelling. Wonder Project invites filmmakers, technologists, and audiences worldwide to experience this industry-defining production.
