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.

Yeah, I think "The Life of Brian" offended a few, lol! To be fair though, Monty Python didn't have an easy time getting that movie made for that very reason.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
