Click the link above. On that page, under the line that says "View the Trailer" (or something like that), are options for small, medium, large, fullscreen... Click on the option you want and it should start loading in your browser.

That didin't work for me

*sigh*

Sources say that Gibson's movie has to do with:
1) Cortez and his encounters with Middle America

or

2) The Mayan Civilization and the End of Time, 2012, Calendar thingy. This is actually an incredibly interesting topic and if this is indeed what Gibson is working with, it should prove to be quite interesting.

Is the whole Mayan Civilization end of time2012 thing Catholic? 'Cause if it isn't I'm really puzzled why Mel Gibson, someone who risked a whole entire career by making the Passion of the Christ, would make such a movie.

Oh man, you all have got to see this, I don't know if it's true, or if this guy is pulling our leg, but it looks like Mel hid a scene in the trailer.

Why can't I be more like Mel and not give a rats patootie?

Sorry I know you are being serious and do bring up a very good point. We all shouldn't "give a rat's patootie", but, perhaps the reason why we aren't more like Mel is because we don't already have millions of dollars, an established career, fame etc While I doubt, being a Christian, Mel cares too much about these things, he is definitley in a position where he can esstentially do whatever he wants and not have to worry about money, his career etc. Besides, being in Hollywood as long as he has, I'm sure he has learned to not care what people think.

Plus, I think Mel is just plain wacky, for proof look in my last post.

LOL, yeah that too I saw an interview with him on Leno shortly before Passion came out, and while he is definitley a smart, seemingly nice man, he is also definitley a bit wacky (or was that night)

What is the Mayan Civilization?

Perhaps this article will give you some background.

Here's a blogspot that quotes Mel Gibson himself in regards to the movie

Indeed. As an aside....Southpark's Passion of the Jew was brilliant.

I tend to stay away from Southpark. Although some things are funny, one has to wade through to much garbage.

Could someone take a stab at this question?

It has nothing whatsoever to do with Catholicism, at least not directly. The Mayan Civilization existed in Central America before the coming of any Europeans (and thus the Gospel).

I can't wait to see this movie. This shows the brilliance of Mel Gibson. Hollywood has long since run out of original ideas and now Mel Gibson has come up with some completely original stuff. No one has done anything like what he is doing.

Agreed. Looks brilliant - WRT the topic and the shooting. AFAIK, Gibson never stated that he was just going to make "Catholic" type movies after Passion.

I wouldn't be surprized if Hollywood started scripting movies about the Incas, Aztecs, et. al.

Hollywood may lack originality, but the drive for money more than makes up for that.

God Bless!

I couldn't open it either, but I will be going to see it when it opens!!
