Tackling The Big Issues of the Day

I'm watching a movie on TV this morning about the life of Moses, and I'm wondering:

Why is it, whether a flick involves biblical stories from the Middle East or tales of ancient Rome, that the characters in the movie speak with a highbrow British accent?

Shouldn't Moses have a Palestinian accent? Shouldn't Nero have an Italian accent? Why British?

Just wondering.
