Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Omar Sharif came out of retirement for this, then un-retired from retirement because the production was so chaotic. He called it 'the worst experience of my life.'
The 'lo, there do I see my father' speech is pure Hollywood invention, but it's been adopted by actual heathen groups because it slaps too hard to ignore.

This trailer was uploaded in 2011 and just now, December the 8th, 2024; I'm going to be the FIRST person to leave a comment? Really??
