Hollywood Is Devoid Of New Ideas
That’s hardly news. But this week brings further proof: Tinseltown is preparing movies about Barbie and marshmallow peeps. You read that right: an entire movie based on those sugary Easter candies. Hollywood is also remaking “Ben-Hur” (again) with the hack director Timur Bekmambetov (“Wantedâ€). Will they restore the homoerotic bond between Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) and Messala (Stephen Boyd)? Doubtful. They will too busy trying to out-do the chariot scene. Not gonna happen, no matter how many times they run the software.
