PARIS - SEPTEMBER 22: French actor Christophe Heraut plays Ben-Hur and rides in a Roman chariot during the stage production premiere of 'Ben-Hur' September 22, 2006 in Saint-Denis, Paris, France.

Lew Wallace, on the big screen, the play is set to return in a live version staged at France's biggest sports stadium. Behind the 13-million-euro (16.5-million-dollar) show is a veteran Paris-born director Robert Hossein, who involved a large crew of hundreds of actors for the show.
