Apocalypto is Nigh

Directing the world's most successful Aramaic film must make a guy a little cocky. MEL GIBSON, whose The Passion of the Christ earned nearly $1 billion despite its ancient dialogue, is planning another violent epic in a language understood by practically no one. This fall Gibson will head to Mexico to direct his historical action script Apocalypto in an obscure Maya dialect. Luckily "it doesn't appear like there's going to be a lot of dialogue in the film," says Gibson's publicist. "He's a very visual director." In that case, we suggest Gibson next tackle a romantic comedy in Sanskritto be called the Kama Sutra.
