New Ben-Hur adaptation

[AnneFan]

So, will Rolex and/or Omega be doing product placement in the chariot race this time?

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

No chariot but muscle cars ala Fast and Furious.
Prince Judas Ben-Hur Audi R8 vs Messala "greek" Lamborghini Murcielago.

 

[nite-owl]

God, remake Lawrence of Arabia with Robert Pattinson why don't you!

He is actually playing T. E. Lawrence in Werner Herzogs new movie.

 

[Project862006]

No chariot but muscle cars ala Fast and Furious.
Prince Judas Ben-Hur Audi R8 vs Messala "greek" Lamborghini Murcielago.

it being written from the writer of peter Weir's The Way Back which was a phenomenal film they didn't get orci and kurtsman lol

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

I wrote that for fun
Anyway, I have no opinion on a new version, it is just not for me, the 1959 version is "mine". Maybe in 50 years people will see the new adaptation with the same eyes I see the 1959 one and it will also become a classic ( but I doubt ).

 

[:eek:]

Is Timur Bekmambetov Up For Steering The Chariot In MGM’s ‘Ben-Hur’ Reboot?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

No, no he is not.

 

[MrMaooz]

So....are we going to get explosions this time?

 

[Teelie]

All kinds of Michael Bay types when a chariot is knocked over or a building comes down for some inexplicable reason.

 

[nite-owl]

More likely slow motion.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

And heards of pointless cg horses.

 

[nite-owl]

Which Ben-Hur will pick up an throw at someone during the chariot race.

 

[Sawyer]

lol terrible choice for this, this should be fun to watch.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

The man who directed Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter and is producing a movie about cg killer squirrels is remaking Ben hur. This sentence should not exist.

 

[Octoberist]

I hope Ben-Hur does some rad parkour in this.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Nah bro. Axe fu is the way to go.

 

[matrix_ghost]

I hope Ben-Hur does some rad parkour in this.

 

[Octoberist]

I hope Ben-Hur becomes the owner of successful food truck by the end. Roman/Chinese fusion.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Sorry, but this movie has a feeling of "Ben Hur, done that"

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Get out.

 

[Sawyer]

Get out.

Jealous you didn't think of it?

 

[Schlosser85]

Ben Hur will be played by Vin Diesel and bang Jewish princess Megan Fox before defeating evil Roman John Malkovich in a CGI-saturated chariot race while Malkovich's henchman throw primitive bombs at him, so there are plenty of explosions and shots of Diesel in front of big fireballs.

"We need a bigger fireball" -- Benny Hur

I'm just convinced that Timur is a hack at this point. Nothing he has done can match up to the stuff he did with Night Watch or Day Watch. Even then, those movies aren't that great simply because they seem to make up the rules as they went along, making it all nonsensical. I think they just got the attention because they were seen as big 'Hollywood-style' tentpoles that came out of Russia. If they were made in America, they would've been forgotten.

That was one of my problems with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
