The powerhouse production duo of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey have taken on the daunting task of remaking a movie classic, “Ben-Hur.” Jack Huston plays the title role in this epic based on the novel by General Lew Wallace. So, how does it stack up against the 1959 Charlton Heston version that won 11 Academy Awards including “Best Picture?” Susan and Russ are of one mind about this reboot that makes some changes to the original story.
