it is a long time before us saw the charlton heston one. book on which that book was faced -- based was called "a tale of the quest." it is the title of this 1925 movie. of the moviespect -- i am a left coast libertine. a sinner. but even my crocodile heart is moved by the power of the message of jesus christ in this thing. a question but not that much of a believer. for people, it will feel very strong. i expected to chariot race to rock and the pirates to be amazing. i expected this powerful and liberating spiritual message. tavis: do you know why they dropped the subtitle and just called it ben-hur? why did you want the need to bring it back for your production? >> i don't know why they dropped it. just watching the movie, the full title fits. people don't allow other people to be who they are and believe what they believe. i want to not judge people and take a lesson i have learned and offer something to those people for whom the film was made. , think for nonreligious people there is a film called noah where a lot of people are upset t
