Updated:
Joseph Morgan has been picked to take on one of the screen's most heroic roles - Ben-Hur.
That title stirs up images of the chariot race - one of the great achievements of action cinema - with Charlton Heston holding the reins as he guided his chariot at breakneck speed around the track in front of 15, cheering extras.
Morgan, who made his screen debut opposite Russell Crowe in Master And Commander, will play the noble Judah Ben-Hur in a two-part miniseries being produced by British production company Alchemy TV for U.S. network ABC and broadcasters around the world.
Hero: Joseph Morgan as Ben-Hur, L, and Stephen Campbell as villain Messala, R
No deal has been done for British television, although it's likely the series will end up on the BBC.
The two minute TV films will be shot on location in Morocco and Spain, with
filming starting next month for nine weeks.
The new version will not 'copy' the Oscar-winning film; instead, it will be more in the mould of the movie Gladiator.
Original: Charlton Heston in the iconic chariot race in the film
