Epic Film!

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2013)

There hasn't been a classic like the 1959 remake of Ben-Hur in so many years. Charleston Heston is at his best in this epic tale set in ancient Rome, of a man who faces the most dire of hardships for love and honor. It's a story of faith tested. How power can be used for corruption or for mankind's ultimate salvation!
If they did a new remake of this film, I don't know if any actor could top this classic star. But with today's effects, I can't imagine how amazing this tale could be. I personally would love to do a remake.
Hmm, what actor do you think might do a great remake? My picks might be; Christian Bale, Matt Bomer, Christian Cooke, Devon Sawa or Peter Facinelli for the lead role of Judah Ben-Hur.
For the role of Quintus Arrius, Ben-Hur's rival, my picks might be; Ryan Gosling, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Sean Faris or Dave Annable.
And for the role of Esther, my picks might be; Mila Kunis, Megan Fox, Lily James, Gal Gadot or Monica Raymund.
If you love the classics and stories set in ancient Rome, this is a must see!!!
