As we await the premiere of Charlie Sheen’s new FX show Anger Management, his new Playboy interview will keep us entertained.

The big story
Prometheus is proving to be a big hit. Despite being on the receiving end of some critical brickbats (as well as some effusive praise), over the extended bank holiday weekend it took £9.92m – more than the total gross of any of the Alien movies, and the biggest debut for any Ridley Scott film.
So what's next for the director? According to an interview he gave to Esquire magazine, it could well be a big-screen retelling of the story of Moses. "It's going to happen," he told interviewer Eric Spitznagel. "What's interesting to me about Moses isn't the big stuff that everybody knows.

Prometheus director is fascinated by the story of the Israelite leader – subject of Cecil B DeMille's unforgettable epic and soon a Steven Spielberg biopic – and says it could be a future project
His new film Prometheus ponders the existence of an extra-terrestrial civilisation which may have created mankind, and it seems Ridley Scott is not yet done with grand and portentous theological themes: one of the veteran British film-maker's future projects, according to an Esquire interview, could be a new big-screen retelling of the story of Moses.
Scott told the Us edition of the men's magazine he was fascinated by the biblical figure, who according to the Old Testament led the Israelites out of Egypt and received the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai.
"Seriously, seriously. It's going to happen," Scott told interviewer Eric Spitznagel. "I probably shouldn't have let that slip out. I'm not supposed to say anything.
