Some previously unseen images from the legendary movie The Ten Commandments are up for auction, and we’ve got a preview. Holy hell, this movie was massive. Take a look at the oil paintings that were used as concept art for Charlton Heston’s makeup. Amazing.

RR Auction is hosting a fantastic collection of never published, 35 mm slides straight from Cecil B. DeMille’s last movie: the 1956 epic starring Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner.
