First Impressions - Ben-Hur (2016)
I don’t think there’s any movie that’s necessarily “sacred”. Sure, there are some titles that if a remake, a prequel or a sequel was announced, I’d be opposed to, pictures like “E.T.”, “Gone With the Wind” or “An American Werewolf in London” but you never know. “The Force Awakens”, a sequel to “Return of the Jedi” was great! “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was an awesome prequel and this year’s “The Jungle Book” was a delightful remake. When I saw a trailer for the new “Ben-Hur” though, my face was frozen in a look of bewilderment. This one… smells like trouble.
Ben-Hur (2016) The plot (as far as I can tell): Based on one of the greatest stories ever told (or is that "movies ever shown"?) Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston) is a Jewish prince of Jerusalem who is betrayed by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell). With his wife and child crucified at the behest of Rome, Ben-Hur is sold into slavery, rowing in the galleys and narrowly surviving a deadly water battle. Rescued by a sheik (Morgan Freeman in a rather silly-looking wig) he becomes a chariot racer, hoping to take revenge against his brother in the grand Coliseum of Rome. Oh, and if we follow the plot of the original, he also encounters Jesus Christ (we see a brief glimpse of the crucifixion in the trailer).
What could go wrong: In this trailer, I see everything you can do wrong in a remake. It takes aspects that people remember from the original, but weren’t necessarily a big deal, and blows them out of proportion or includes them only because they were there originally. A great example can be seen in the clips of the big, epic race in the Coliseum. Notice the statues in the middle of the ring? There is no reason for those to be there, except that they were in the original film. Nowadays, it’s very easily to create a huge, roaring crowd inside a stadium but back in 1959 when the best-known adaptation of “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ” was made? It would have been prohibitively expensive to hire that many extras, so they added those statues to block the camera’s view of the stands. The trailer I saw focuses almost exclusively on the chariot races and there’s no way it’ll be able to capture the excitement present in the original film due to the fact that we have computer technology now. You look at that original picture and you can sense the fear in the actors as they actually race horses and fight each other for the camera. It’s always a second away from becoming a real-life tragedy. Here? Not so much. Additionally, I don’t see this film actually doing anything new, indicating that it is a “truer” adaptation of the novel instead of simply a remake of the film people (or their parents) are familiar with.
What could go right: People always forget that the original “Ben-Hur” was a remake itself, after two silent versions of the story in 1907 and 1925. If there’s a story that has a timeless appeal, it’s this one. There’s been a trend of Christian faith-based movies in the past few years and this is one as well, but we’re looking at a big budget production with a lot of people chiming in on this so I doubt we’ll see ham-fisted messages that make most audiences, religious or not, cringe.
If I end up seeing the movie, what do I predict my rating will be? I get a very distinct “Clash of the Titans” (2010) vibe from this trailer, which is not a good thing. Additionally, I haven’t really liked any of director Timur Bekmambetov’s other films, though I haven’t seen “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”. I don’t have faith in this one. I predict a 2/5 rating from me.
