Jesus actor struck by lightning
I'm still really looking forward to this movie. It looks like they've already fallen victim to the legal hassles of the movie studios: "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." So it's being called "The Passion Of Christ" instead. I can't say that's a bad move.

Last I heard, this one will be subtitled. I don't think Gibson originally wanted to subtitle it, but I think enough people convinced him that the population of Aramaic-speaking people was low enough that he'd be better served with subtitles. I hope they DVD release has subtitling optional.
There's a population of Aramaic-speaking people? I though there were fewer than 100 individuals in the known world who spoke the language fluently. :)
As for the title change, most people nowadays do not know the original meaning of the word "passion". I think it's a good idea to put Jesus's name in the title.
I don't think I'll be joining them, but it sounds like an interesting film for sure.
