There are no words to describe how I feel about this.

There is only one Ben-Hur and this isn't it. The 1959 original was, still is and always will be a superb film.

Dirge, just like the first one.

"I'm Sparticus!"

No... wait...

Not at all surprised these days. Hollywood is running out of ideas.

Says it all really.

Good! Some films just don't need a remake.

Why do this? You cannot come close to the original. This is going to be terrible.

The 1959 film isn't the original version.

It is, as you say, superb though.

The twist being that his brother is dead and just a figment of his memory.

Why lord WHY ????

Trusty · 18 Aug 2016 at 23:45

I'll still enjoy it i reckon. Love swords & sandals type films..

They will just turn it into a chariot race violence actionfilm. No deep underlying Christian morals of sacrifice....
And it will suck

Looks absolute pap. I enjoyed the 1959 version, this however looks an amateur fan film.

shaf · 19 Aug 2016 at 11:07

Wait and see but I doubt this will be any good.

About time the San Andreas fault did its job and tipped Hollywood into the Pacific.

Its maybe just me but I couldn't help thinking that Morgan Freeman looks incredibly like Whoopi Goldberg in that trailer.
And I don't think I'll be going to see the film either.

hopefully it won't be as long as the original. that was a bit too long.

but with most remakes i am sure it'll suck

I'm not religious, but the ending of the original was one of the most emotional and uplifting ending scenes ever. Nothing comes close and I very much doubt this will either.
