Mel Gibson Returns
Share this Story
Well I don’t know about anyone else but I personally think Mel Gibson’s new film Apocalypto looks like the biggest piece of crap and I thought that way even before his little drunken anti-Semitic rant. Well it turns out that Mr. Gibson is actually trying and succeeding in making public appearances amount his fans. Nikki Finke who is a columnist for the L.A. Weekly says that the hype around Apocalypto is actually stronger than that of the Jennifer Connolly and Leonardo DiCaprio flick Blood Diamond which opens next Friday along with the Gibson film.
Nikki has been saying that this has been Disney’s goal all along because with the loyal following he got from The Passion of the Christ, they look at the film as having a secure audience because people loved The Passion of the Christ and people will see Apocalypto. She also states that even if only one third of the audience who saw and loved Passion of the Christ see this, the movie will do well at the box office.
In the Sunday edition of the Los Angeles Times it spoke about how Gibson just spend endless amounts of money on extras because they were so cheap in Mexico and that the Passion of the Christ made Mel Gibson almost careless about how much he spend on the production of this film.
Personally I doubt I will watch this in the theaters and in all honesty I may never see it. It just doesn’t peak my interest however it will be interesting to see how it turns out after all the negative press and remarks Gibson has received in the past few months
