The Longest Now

Here’s a movie that’s sure to attract a big audience.

[Mel Gibson] has spent nearly $30 million of his own money to produce, co-write and direct “The Passion,” starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. Filmed entirely in the languages of Aramaic and Latin, it has yet to secure a distributor.

You know times are tough when even niche art films cost $30M to produce.
