Take a look to the first official pictures of Ben-Hur, the upcoming movie remake directed by Timur Bekmambetov and starring Jack Huston, Morgan Freeman, Rodrigo Santoro, Tory Kebbell, and Nazanin Boniadi:
“EN-HUR is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but an encounter with Jesus (Rodrigo Santoro) leads him to the Crucifixion, where he discovers forgiveness and finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.”
