It would probably never be made because it would be offensive to Christians and Jews. There are plenty of fantastic elements in the OT, with fireballs coming from heaven and Elijah flying up in his chariot.
Offending Christians and Jews has never stopped a film being made before, I don’t see why it would stop this one. A bigger roadblock might be that not enough people are familiar enough with Canaanite mythology to make such a film financially viable.
