In years past, the Ravens have gone to Gettysburg or a nearby movie theatre for a break from the grind of training camp.
This year, they’re grabbing the popcorn and staying home.
The Ravens were fortunate enough to screen the Paramount and MGM mega-movie “Ben-Hur” Thursday afternoon. The film is scheduled to be released in mid-August, but the Ravens got an advance copy. They're the only professional sports team to get the pre-release.
The film, starring Jack Houston, Toby Kebbell and Morgan Freeman, is the fourth film adaptation of the 1880 novel “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Chris”by General Lew Wallace.
