Bigger, better, bloodier

And speaking of movie adaptations, the latest trailer is out for the upcoming remake of Ben-Hur, which looks, frankly, cheesy as hell. I'm not sure how interested the filmmakers are in the Christ parallels featured in the original novel (the movie looks like it's more of an action/adventure thing, with lots of CGI chariot-racing and a hardcore shipwreck scene), but whatever: I'm assuming they'll find a way to market it to both Zack Snyder and Charlton Heston fans.
