Russell Crowe announced that he will be narrating a live performance of Ben Hur in ANZ Stadium. This should be a spectacular sight to be hold. I really wish I could be there to see it first hand. This link goes to the Daily Telegraph and a video of the press conference where Mr. Crowe was all smiles. VIDEO: Russell Crowe joins Ben Hur
You can follow news about the event on their twitter @BenHurAustralia .
In the mean time we can enjoy the great classic 1959 epic starring Charlton Heston. The film won 11 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director. There is a video below of the famous chariot race, which still takes audience breath away.
In April of 2010 a remake was released to mixed reviews. I have yet to see this version though I would like to. So I'm on the hunt to find Ben Hur 2010 to review. The trailer draws interest at least.
If you have seen this new version or the original or just have a comment to share please do :) Until then enjoy the vids and Happy Adventures.
