BEN HUR 1959/2016
Manage episode 415605780 series 2847788
Ben Hur is one of the greatest biblical epics of our time. When in 1959 Charlton Heston took the lead role and William Wyler directed it became the most expensive film ever made and won 11 Academy Awards. The following year Stunt Coordinator YAKIMA CANUTT was presented with an Honorary Oscar for his achievement in the action business.
In 2016 a new version was made - technology allowed the filmmakers to do things they couldn't have dreamt of back in 59. The cast said, "its not a remake, its a reimagining". The action is very clever and well worth exploring....the final film although being over 80 mins shorter than the original, just doesn't tick any of the boxes ticked over and over again by the 1959 classic.
Enjoy
