Warner Home Video to Release 4-disk Collector's Edition Sept 13

"Warner Home Video has set a Sept. 13 release date for another movie set in ancient Rome, 'Ben-Hur.' The 1959 epic, winner of 11 Academy Awards, will debut as a four-disc collector's edition priced at $39.92.

The William Wyler film has been newly remastered from the original 65mm film elements and comes to DVD with more than 10 hours of bonus materials. The special features include an all-new documentary on the film's influence with such leading filmmakers as Scott and George Lucas, rare screen tests, a making-of documentary hosted by Christopher Plummer and commentary on select scenes by star Charlton Heston."
