Who would really want to watch Isrealites smashing infants heads in with rocks, and slaughtering women and children, all at God's request? Especially if this is done in the 300 style, where basically 90% of the film is shot in annoying slow motion to try to make everything look more "dramatic" and all the dialogue is composed of trite cliches.
It'd be really hard to film the mass slaughtering of women, children, and infants in a manner that doesn't make God's chosen people seem like barbaric Judeo-fascists using religion to justify genocide. I guess you could try to fix it with dialogue, maybe (i.e. maybe have the Israelite soldier say something like, "This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you" just before slitting a 3 year old girl's throat, in front of her mother, grandmother and siblings, before slaughtering each of them one by one as well -all in slow motion with "sexy" cgi back drops and NIN playing in the background), but even then it would be a tough sell.
It wouldn't be a very good evangelizing tool either. If an atheist wanted to make Christianity look bad, all they would have to do is make a literal film adaptation of the sections of the OT that Sunday schools usually don't teach.
