Not saying that it is or isn't original. I know the history behind it, but in Protestant America, you're really going to throw that one out there and not expect someone to say, "Really, George?" Hell, he also tried to out do Ben Hur, oh, but with CGI. Really? He thinks he's going to compete with the race scene from Ben Hur without having to physically build a set, pack it with extras, and have people risk their lives?
Between that and his attempts to sue the special effects wizards from Battlestar Galactica, George is just absolutely loopy.
