<i>Ben-Hur</i> Star Jack Huston on How to Drive a Chariot

Jack Huston has gotten a lot of questions about why in the world he would take part in the reimagining of a movie that changed the face of cinema forever. When Ben-Hur was released in 1959, it broke multiple records: it was the most expensive and third longest movie ever made on the largest set ever constructed. Its yield of 11 Academy Awards remains unbeaten. Even now, in the era of reboots, it's a tall order to tackle such a tentpole of cinematic history.
