Future Wonder Woman Gal Gadot and Game Of Thrones star Pedro Pascal have joined the cast of Timur Bekmambetov’s remake of the classic BEN HUR. The film, which is in pre-production over at MGM and Paramount, will also star Jack Huston, Toby Kebbell, and Morgan Freeman with Huston playing the title role.
Pascal (above) will play the role of Pontius Pilate in the film, which is said to be a closer to the 1880 Lew Wallace novel than the 1959 William Wyler movie version which was led by Charlton Heston.
Gadot will play the female lead in the film, thogh we know little more than that. Bekmambetov directs the film, which will star production next year for a February 2016 release.
