We’ve got our hands on two preview clips of Ben-Hur, the upcoming adventure drama movie remake directed by Timur Bekmambetov and starring Jack Huston:

Ben-Hur – You should have killed me.

Ben-Hur – Chariot racePlot synopsis:
“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.”

In the good old days of the Roman empire they didn’t have NASCAR but they had chariot races, and it was way more exciting!

Release date: August 19, 2016.

I’ve just spotted this new punchy trailer of Ben-Hur, Timur Bekmambetov’s take on the cult sword-and-sandal movie:

BEN-HURPlot synopsis:
“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.
:)

There’s a new series of character posters for Ben-Hur, the upcoming adventure drama movie remake directed by Timur Bekmambetov:

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.”

Even Jesus Christ got his own character poster, but well, i doubt he will have much time on screen in this film… Are they baiting the Christian audience?

Jack Huston is not Charlton Heston, but he gives his whole self to the role, doesn’t he? Will that be enough for you to go see the film?

Anyway, besides Jack Huston, the cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Rodrigo Santoro, Tory Kebbell, and Nazanin Boniadi.

Release date: August 19, 2016.

This new behind-the-scenes featurette of Ben-Hur was released online so you know they didn’t use CGI for the chariot race, yep, they used real chariots pulled by real horses:

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.”

Director Timur Bekmambetov is comparing chariot racing to NASCAR… but well, I’d rather watch a chariot race with horses than a NASCAR race and its gas-guzzling cars! And you?

The film will open in theaters in August 19, 2016.

Well, this trailer of Ben-Hur was rather underwhelming. It doesn’t look bad, but since they’re doing a remake of an iconic movie, one would expect some really fresh new take on Ben-Hur and not just a modern rehash…

Anyway, the whole thing will be entertaining, I guess…

The film will hit theaters on August 12, 2016.
