Okay, here's a weird tidbit I just read about this film. (I've already read some of the hype.) This is from an AP story.
"The movie, directed by Gibson, stars James Caviezel as Christ during the last 12 hours of his life and Monica Belluci as Mary Magdalene. The reported $25 million production will feature dialogue only in Latin and Aramaic with no English subtitles."
Whaa? Did I read that right? Dialogue in Latin and Aramaic? No English subtitles?
I adore Mel Gibson and admire the fact that he doesn't live the Hollywood lifestyle and yet is so successful (anyone who smells conservative often gets a bum's rap in Hollywood) ... but this is a tad over the top.
Or am I missing something?
