It doesn't matter how much this may or may not make at the box office. Some things should be left alone.

The old silent version was OK but the remake with Charlton Heston can't be beat and won't be beat!

They'll probably put in a 3-D chariot race, though.

That's my prediction.

As a kid the 1959 version was on TV once a year I think and I and the family were captivated by the movie. It didn't need CGI because it had a great script, great actors and a great director.. It seems back then a believable story about the interaction between real human beings was what movies were about. Now days these movies are just extravagant cartoons.

I saw this trailer a while back and didn't think anything of it, until I happened across a book giveaway on Goodreads. The great-great-granddaughter of Lew Wallace has breathed new life into the epic saga that is billed as a modern "Christ story," Ben-Hur. 

The trailer...

Thoughts?
