The New Trailer For BEN-HUR Rolls At Full Speed With No Breaks!
Filmmaker and producer Timur Bekmambetov is someone I think we can all appreciate. His resumé is ripe with great titles and seveal of which come peppered with some bold and exciting visuals, including 2009’s Wanted for which I personally remain pining for a sequel. For now though, it’s onward to the last few days which have graced us with a few new stills from his latest foray into biblical territory, Ben-Hur.

It’s been a year since producer Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) officially announced production for what he and the crew are billing as “the world’s first ever POV sci-fi action movie”, titled Hardcore. It came at the height of popularity over director Ilya Naishuller‘s explosive viral music video sensation, “Bad Motherfucker”, which featured its own theme filled with first-person POV-style parkour and car chase sequences, fist fights and whimsical elements of science fiction to boot, ultimately garnering millions upon millions of views on YouTube and multiple sites.
