I know Roma Downey wanted to bring this story to a modern audience: WRITE A NEW STORY.

You don't understand the movie business! /s

Was Roma Downey and her husband behind this movie?

I heard Sean Hannity say "The New Ben Hur movie is my favorite movie of all time!" earlier this week, but didn't hear his explanation why. Why would Sean like such a supposedly horrible movie??

Although I haven't seen this new movie, I agree with other FReepers here that there was NO need to improve on the original Ben Hur.
