He's not playing Jesus, he's directing a movie called The Passion...

What spins me is that he is going to make it without any English. It’s supposed to be done in latin and aramic. there is also no subtitles.

Mel Gibson was on the O'Reilly Factor last night complaining that the elite media has turned against him because he has made a movie which depicts Jesus in a favorable light. He is accusing the media of having an anti-christian bias and even said that one news organization in the United States, sent someone to try and get dirt on him from his 84 year old father. The show caused so much mail it is again the topic of Tonight's show, along with a professor from the University of Texas and a New York Times editor dukeing it out over the ACLU. Was surely interesting. Along with that debate is rather or not it is acceptable for a specific High School to teach that all war is unacceptable and that Bush is a warmonger. NeatO show.  I think Bill must have gotten wind of our why the left hates america thread.

The article that Curiosity Unleashed linked us to says that Gibson said there's two roles he never play, himself if it ever came to that, and Jesus, and he said that in his 20's.

Jim Caviezel is actually the actor portraying Jesus. I can really appreciate that, because I read an article in which he outright talked about his Faith and how much it meant to him. It was an honest discussion, it seemed. I'm all for the movie, myself, as it has been talked about, especially with someone like him in the lead. I believ ehe'll really feel the role and respect it.

Is Gibson sticking to his plan to shoot the entire film in Aramaic and Latin?
