Timur Bekmambetov is a man who’s had one hell of a mixed career. For every great movie that he delivers, like Night Watch or Wanted, we get an Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And although he doesn’t direct a whole lot of movies, whenever a new film of his comes along, we know that we have his own particular brand of crazy to look forward to.
Paramount have released a new trailer for his Biblical epic Ben-Hur and man, it’s safe to say that Bekmambetov’s version of the famous chariot race scene is going to look awesome on the big screen. Jack Huston stars as the titular Jewish prince, with the likes of Morgan Freeman, Toby Kebbell and Rodrigo Santoro rounding off the cast.
Ben-Hur races onto our screens on August 19.
