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.
BEN-HUR is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. Also starring Morgan Freeman and Rodrigo Santoro.
