”Mel Gibson is set to direct a movie about Christ's last 12 hours played out entirely in two ancient tongues - Latin and Aramaic - with no subtitles." The formula hardly sounds like the recipe for a hit movie but Gibson thinks language should be no barrier for the film, titled THE PASSION. ’For me that's more real and hopefully I'll be able to transcend language barriers with filmic storytelling,’ Gibson said.”

Huh? No subtitles? Last 12 hours of Christ? Man, this sounds odd.
