It wasn’t DeMille’s first time adapting The Ten Commandments, which he did in 1956. In 1923, he attempted to adapt the biblical story into one of the first “epic” films. He won’t be able to rely on computer-generated effects like he could in the 1956 version of the movie.

The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes in Santa Barbara were used to film DeMille’s 1923 adaptation, which he thought looked like the Egyptian desert. Set designers built Moses’ world entirely by hand, and it was massive.
