Trailer Time: Ben-Hur


I don't know, but this seems like an even more pointless remake than the Ghostbusters movie.  And they seem to be really downplaying the religious component of the movie.  The original title of the novel is Ben-Hur: a Tale of the Christ.

The race looks like it could be exciting, but why would you want to try to step into Charlton Heston's sandals.

Thoughts?

    Didn't someone remake the Ten Commandments recently?

    ABC canned the biblically inspired Game of Thrones rip off after two episodes, can't blame either source materials.

    Engineers have a word for it. LGOP "Le Gap" - looked good on paper. The gap between inspiration and execution.

    One of the basic cable channels is remaking Roots. The original was a cultural phenomenon, what does the new one have to offer?
