why is charlie day in ben hur

why did they change the roman who betrays him from childhood friend into brother?
like it makes literally zero sense for him to betray his family for rome, and its such an unneccesary change
>>67137584
At this point I'm convinced you're not allowed to work in Hollywood unless you pitch at least one ridiculous unnecessary change to something that only serves to make the plot more nonsensical and convoluted.
>>67137383
the weird thing is that this could actually be quite good, as the core story is really very strong, and simple enough to work okay when remade.

I think it's actually to rationalize the remake to audiences as much as anything else. Look at the Departed, it's like 40+ minutes longer than Infernal Affairs for basically no fucking reason and it won oscars.
>we made them brothers to strengthen the theme of family and blah blah blah
>its all CG
Why even bother.
>>67137383
But Heston is still alive.
>>67137584
Because the original Bem-Hur made the characters look really, really gay.

Anyway that looks pretty epic OP, I'm keen
