I’ve just spotted this new punchy trailer of Ben-Hur, Timur Bekmambetov’s take on the cult sword-and-sandal movie:
BEN-HUR
“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 finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.”
From this trailer of Ben-Hur could think the film is the bastard child of 300 Rise of an Empire and Gladiator, lol…
Ben-Hur will race in theaters on August 19, 2016.
