Other than a few anachronisms, it was great. I think I'd prefer that version of the film.
Posted by ahem at September 19, 2009 6:36 AMAs a huge Chuck Heston fan, I'm ticked that Paramount won't release this film. I didn't know it existed until this post.

Posted by mrp at September 19, 2009 7:12 AMUm - you mean, "This is a fake, independent, non-profit trailer?" Is that what's so wrong with this picture? Still - given the choice between Harrison Ford's politics and Charleton Heston's, I prefer the "fake". Also, Heston was one gorgeous hunk of a man! That scene in Ben Hur when he's ascending the stairs to see his healed mother and sister? Oh, man! The raft and chains scene isn't bad either.
Posted by Western Chauvinist at September 19, 2009 8:14 AMI think I would like to see that film.
Posted by Mikey NTH at September 19, 2009 1:06 PMI'd like to see Jimmy Stewart as "Forrest Gump" and Bob Hope in the 1954 version of "Ghostbusters".
Posted by rickl at September 20, 2009 8:56 AMHey, I know! How about Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in the 1938 version of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?

With Rooney as Spicoli? Leo Gorsey ("Gashouse Gang/Bowery Boys") would be better.
