10/27 Jesus actor struck by lightning
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3209223.stm
\_ So was the director or someone like that. And? This is going to
be one of the most hyped yet least watched movies in a long time.
Everything is in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, or some third language
I can't remember right now, with no subtitles, voice over, etc.
It's going to be a huge box office bomb.
\_ it's being released subtitled
\_ Are you saying you're not fluent in spoken Aramaic? Look,
not everyone is a stupid and ignorant as you are.
\_ Nice one, good flame.
\_ What's amazing is that there is a flame below only
slightly less absurd than mine that is not apparently
sarcastic.
\_ Someone on the set has been struck by lightning twice. If you
can't see the irony of being struck by lightning multiple
times while making a controversial film about the death of
Jesus, I weep for you.
\_ I for one appreciated it.
\_ A lot of motd people are seriously irony impaired.

\_ Those Romans spoke a crazy language called Latin. You may have
heard of it. And if you don't know the story, it's pretty easy to
brush up on it. It covers about 12 hours in the life of Christ.
That's less than 20 pages in the Bible if you want to brush up on
the storyline. -emarkp
\_ the new yorker had an interesting piece on the upcoming
movie release, here is a FREE REPUBLIC !!!!!!!!!!!

\_ I think the original idea of using Aramaic and Latin without
subtitles was awesome! I wish they had stuck to their guns on
this. -- ilyas
\_ I'll bet you loved Quest For Fire.
\_ What now? -- ilyas |
| news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3209223.stm Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus in Mel Gibsons controversial film The Passion Of Christ. The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the films assistant director Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few hours from Rome. It was the second time Michelini had been hit by lightning during the shoot. Neither of them was badly hurt, according to the films producer Steve McEveety. Michelini had previously been struck during filming in Matera, Italy, when he suffered light burns to his fingers after lightning hit his umbrella. Describing the second lightning strike, McEveety told VLife, a supplement of the trade paper Variety: Im about a hundred feet away from them when I glance over and see smoke coming out of Caviezels ears. The Passion Of Christ, which was filmed in the ancient languages of Latin and Aramaic, is directed and co-written by actor Mel Gibson and focuses on the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus. Although it is not due for release until early next year, it has already hit headlines after Jewish figures in the United States slated it for being dangerous and portraying Jews in a negative way. Originally titled The Passion, the film changed its title last week after Miramax claimed the rights to the title for one of its own projects, a historical epic based on a Jeanette Winterson novel. The film now looks set to be released in the States by independent distributors Newmarket Films, who released Memento and Whale Rider in the US. |
