The Modern Remake of Ben Hur
A remake of the famous 1959 film staring Charlton Heston (who was born in Wilmette, Illinois (part of Cook County)).
The 2016 version stars English-American Jack Huston in the title role of Judah Ben-Hur.
Toby Kebbell plays his Roman brother Messala.
It was made to a budget of $100m and filmed in Matera, Southern Italy.
Copenhagen-born, Danish Pilou Asbaek played Pontius Pilate, a prefect of the Roman province of Judaea.
The Original Ben Hur
The original Ben-Hur film was based on the 1880 novel Ben-Hur by Lew Wallace, who apart from being an author, was also a general in the American Civil War.
The formerly named "Ben Hur Museum" can be visited in Crawfordsville, Indiana, built by Lew Wallace as a "detached room away from the world and its worries". Ben-Hur was a stage production, before it became a film, or rather a series of films.
