Check out this “Chariot Race Featurette” from Timur Bekmambetov’s BEN-HUR!
The epic tale of brother against brother comes to life in this reimagination from visionary director Timur Bekmambetov of Lew Wallace’s acclaimed book, “Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ”. With script by John Ridley and Keith R. Clarke, BEN-HUR is the storyof Prince Judah Ben-Hur, falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother and best friend Messala, who has left the Hur home to make his way as a soldier in the Roman army. A protege of Pontius Pilate, Messala forces his brother Judah into slavery and into the bowels of a ship’s galley. Stripped of his title and separated from his mother and wife Esther, both of whom Messala has sentenced to death, after years at sea, Judah returns home seeking revenge, but finds forgiveness and redemption.
Produced by Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, as well as Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, BEN-HUR stars Jack Huston as Judah Ben-Hur, Toby Kebbell as Messala, Morgan Freeman as Sheik Ilderim and Rodrigo Santoro as Jesus.
