    Timur Bekmambetov In Talks to Direct Ben-Hur Remake - No, Really

    DateMon, August 19, 2013

    Just as test footage for a killer squirrels movie (You read right) he's producing showed up online comes a curveball for Timur Bekmambetov. He's in negotiations to direct a new version of Ben-Hur for MGM, reports The Wrap.

    The director responsible for immature, but stylish, crap like Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is up for The Tale of the Christ? It beats me too. I mean, I don't see why not (Everyone deserves a shot at proving themselves). Just surprised he's the guy the decision-makers deem best for the job.
