Well, the new Ben-Hur movie is due out mid-August. I'll watch it if only to see how they produce the vaunted chariot race.
For those of you who haven't seen 1959's original, the chariot race is probably the finest scene ever produced in cinematic history. It did not include any special effects and was done in one take.
That original movie was fantastic became a Stephen Boyd fan from watching that movie.
Want to see a good movie staring the great Tyrone Power and Steven Boyd he had a small part but a great one in Abandon ship on youtube in its entirety fantastic.
