Given that he's best known for the punchy Taken, Pierre Morel's assembling a seriously high-value cast for his next film, The Gunman. He's already lined up Sean Penn, Idris Elba, Javier Bardem and Ray Winstone for the action thriller; now Mark Rylance is set to sign on as well.How familiar you are with Rylance may depend on how closely you follow award-winning theatre, since he's basically in all of it. Oh sure, he's appeared in films like The Other Boleyn Girl and Anonymous (let's pretend he wasn't in the latter, eh? At least he only played a Shakespearean actor, which is casting for type). But it's really incredible turns on stage in the likes of Jerusalem and basically the entire Shakespeare canon for which he's best known. He's a double Tony and Olivier winner, and will no doubt be stretched not-at-all to play the nemesis to Sean Penn's spy.

Who’S It For? Those who enjoyed History Channel’s The Bible or other similar adaptations might find some enjoyment in this Ben Hur miniseries. Anyone who is only interested in seeing what an updated take on the chariot race looks like should save themselves the trouble.
Movie:
Though its aspirations are far more modest, I went in expecting Ben Hur to be similar to the recent History Channel miniseries, The Bible. While I’m not religious, I slogged through it because I still find a lot of the stories interesting.

- The Scorecard Review
It is the early part of the first century Ad and Rome occupies Judea. Judah Ben-Hur, a young Jewish man has been friends with Messala, a Roman and the son of a powerful Senator, since they were boys. On the day that Messala rides back into Jerusalem with the newly appointed governor Pontius Pilate, an accidental slip by Ben-Hur’s family results in tiles falling from their home onto Pilate. Pilate is determined to make an example of them, sentencing Ben-Hur to be crucified and his mother and sister to be garroted. Somehow, Judah finds himself a slave on a Roman galleon instead, though he continues to hope for escape, that he might exact his revenge on Messala.
