![]() ![]() The 1959 adaptation-although dated by its “overture” and “intermission,” and makeup-darkened Levantines-by and large stands the test of time. ![]() The problem might be that “Ben-Hur” didn’t need to be remade, as reviewers suggested. We also can’t claim our culture’s lost its taste for grand spectacle or histories with supernatural underpinnings. We could presume a dwindling population of devout moviegoers is to blame, but the success of “Passion of the Christ,” for instance, not quite 12 years ago would stand against us. CGI chariots and temple facades cost enough that the earnings differential qualifies the film for epic bomb status, as you may have read. A would-be summer blockbuster, the Ben-Hur remake disappointed at the box office. ![]()
