William Wylder son is going to remake playing down the religious aspect. Guess it won't be called "Ben Hur - A Tale of the Christ!" It'll be called "Ben-Hur - a 10 hour waste of time to try to outdo my dad!"

LOL!

I suppose they will make Ben Hur and Messala into gay ex-lovers as well.

'Ben-Hur' headed for TV miniseries remake (taking out religous aspect)

This has FAILURE written all over it. I guess some people will never learn that Jesus Christ is LORD and savior until it is too late but God is not mocked. There is a day coming in which EVERY knee WILL bow and EVERY tongue WILL confesses that "Jesus Christ is Lord" to the glory of God.

Uh.... is David Wyler a drug addict?

How the 'heck' can you remake "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ" without .. (drum roll) ... RELIGION!

Man-oh man I can see the cast now...

Judah Ben-Hur: Ben AFLAC (quack)
Quintus Arrius: Mike Myers (doing his Austin Powers voice)
Esther: Susan Saranwrap
Messala: Alec Baldwin
Sheik Ilderim: oops scratch that role, might offend Arabs
Miriam: Madonna
Tirzah: J-Lo
Simonides: Billy Crystal
Balthasar (Narrator in pre-credits sequence): The GEICO voice over guy
Pontius Pilate: Tim Robbins
Jesus: oops cut that - no Religion in this movie.

Oh, and that whole Chariot Race thing has to go. Let's make that a Gay Rodeo instead. And 'Romans', yawn - too passe. We'll make them ... Nazis!

Yep a real blockbuster.
