Take a break and watch the trailer for the Ben Hur remake
Yes, a Ben Hur remake.

Paramount Pictures / YouTube

IN 2016, EVERYTHING is being remade.

Now, even one of the greatest films ever released is getting the Hollywood remake treatment.

Jack Huston stars in Timur Bekmambetov’s remake of Ben Hur, the story of a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother, an officer in the Roman army.

After years at sea, he returns to fight his brother and take him on in a chariot race.

Expect swords, sandals and… Morgan Freeman?

The reaction so far has been mixed. What do you think?
