The story of Judah Ben-Hur went through various TV and video adaptations and a cinematic remake in 2016 starring Jack Huston (relative of Walter, John, and Angelica).
This success was repeated over forty years later with William Wyler’s remake of the film in 1959, which again became one of the highest-grossing films of all time and won several Oscars, including Best Picture.
In 1925, the story was adapted into a 141-minute silent film epic and became one of the highest-grossing films of the era. Lew Wallace’s “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ” (which was the best-selling American novel of its time) was first adapted into an unauthorized short film in 1907. However, it is a miracle that both these films, unlike so many of the era, have not been lost.ĭepending on the length of time between both films, whether or not the films are based on a pre-existing property, or if the film’s setting/era is updated for modern audiences, not all remakes are created equal. Both these films were much more faithful to the original 1902 novel, which means they were undeniably creepy. Frank Baum’s story “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was first adapted in 1910 and again in 1925. In fact, the Judy Garland-led musical is technically a remake itself. After the 1927 introduction of sound in Hollywood, many films that had previously been made silent were remade as “talkies” as a way to guarantee a film’s financial success. To be clear, the concept of a remake is not new.

has announced a “ reimagined” remake of the 1939 cinematic classic “The Wizard of Oz.” As expected, this was met with a series of audible groans worldwide, specifically online, where the loudest detractors can be heard most of all.
