Paramount Pictures has released a super new trailer for the upcoming movie, BEN-HUR. Take a look at the footage in the video player above.
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.
The film is based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.”
Freeman plays Ilderim, the man who sponsors and trains the slave Ben-Hur to become a champion chariot racer. In the 1959 film, the character is an Arab sheikh, played by actor Hugh Griffith, who won an Oscar for his performance.
Jack Huston stars as the title character (Judah Ben-Hur). The cast also includes Nazanin Boniadi as love interest Esther, Rodrigo Santoro as Jesus, and Pilou Asbaek as Pontius Pilate.
The film has been helmed by Timur Bekmambetov and John Ridley (“American Crime,” “12 Years a Slave”) rewrote the script.
