Mel Gibson’s next movie

By Marc • Jul 25th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture

Well, I don’t really know what to think of this……..

“Apocalypto” hardly fits the traditional definition of a summer film. Set 500 years ago, pic will be filmed in an obscure Mayan dialect, presumably with the same kind of subtitles Gibson reluctantly added to “The Passion of the Christ.” It will star a neophyte cast indigenous to the region of Mexico where Gibson will shoot in October. And it likely will carry an R rating, unless Gibson tempers the onscreen depiction of violent scenes he wrote in his script.

I guess it sounds kind of cool. But I am worried for Mr. Gibson. Some folks out there expect another Christian themed film and might feel he’s letting them down. But the whole language thing is interesting. I’d really like to see some comments on this. What do you think?
