10 Upcoming Movie Remakes You Should Be More Annoyed About Than Ghostbusters

10. Ben-Hur

Eleven Oscars. One of the biggest box office grosses ever (at that point). A legacy that looms over cinema. Why the f*ck are people getting prissy about a redo of a SNL team-up over Ben-Hur? The remake comes from serial phoner-in Timur Bekmambetov and looks to be every bit as needlessly sensationalist a take as you'd expect.

The trailer does have some visual stylings, but it feels so empty and false. The CGI is massively unconvincing, making the Chariot Race look worse than what was achieved in 1959, and there's something incredibly flat about how it paints the story - everyone looks to be completely resigned to just doing the same old sh*t all again.

The "original" Ben-Hur was actually itself a remake of a 1925, but it used the decades of development and rise of the Biblical epic to offer a new take on the story. Despite double the time passing, 2016 looks to be the same but with fake sheen.
