I feel that Stamos would be prefect to play as a Komnenoi emperor in a movie. Just needs to grow a beard and he'll be set.

They're both classics so I'm feeling very...scared. After watching the trailer: Ben-Hur's remake looks OK - not a patch on the original and Lew Wallace's novel though - and the Magnificent Seven remake left me feeling like a cow that's just realised that the green pasture it strolled into actually belongs to an abattoir.

My main fear about Ben-Hur is that everything will be all CG-ed up. In the first two Ben-Hur movies, they built giant coliseums in the desert, and here they'll probably just build some dinky little 10-foot-long stand and CG the rest, which is something I dislike in movies. AND all of the religion in Ben-Hur will most likely be gutted.

Dallior, I've got some good news. Apparently, they actually built the coliseum and real chariots for the race sequence, and are using minimal CGI in that part. I've also heard it's not wholly a remake - they're going back and going over extra material from Lew Wallace's novel. This may mean that the religion won't be as gutted as we fear.
