This is one movie that did not need a remake, especially by a now mostly agnostic if not atheist Hollywood.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I rewatched the '59 version a couple of months ago and noticed that the film's producer, director, and screenwriter were all Jews. I wondered why they made it at all, until I decided they must have concluded, "This movie is going to be (re)made by someone, so let's do it ourselves so we can control its content." As a result, two editorial decisions became apparent:

1. The Jews' involvement in Christ's crucifixion is entirely absent from the film--the only "villains" are the Romans.

2. As others have noted on this thread, the Gospel is strangely muted, compared to the latest version (which I've not seen).
