Yes and there seems to be little written about it. It is being produced by Mark Burkett and Roma Downey among others and will closer follow the book than the 1959 version.

But, the release date has been moved to late summer of this year and no buzz at all. No trailers. I have read that late summer can be a dumping ground for films studios have no faith in (no pun intended).

Who knows? We may be pleasantly surprised. I agree Charlton Heston was an amazing Judah Ben Hur and that lady (I don't know her name), Judah's "love interest" is absolutely mesmerizing to me.

His love interest was Haya Harareet. I believe she was an Israeli actress. Never saw her in any other movie.
