Hi all of you,


The latest news:
On Jesus I have just heard some romours on the upcoming Mel Gibson movie
entitled "The Passion Of Christ".
The actor playing Jesus got struck by lightning the other day - whil at the
studio- site.
He survived. It was said that smoke was coming out of one of his ears.


Quoting:
"24 OCTOBER 2003
Jim Caviezel, who plays Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's controversial new film,
has been struck by lightning on the set of the flick.

A lightning bolt hit the 35-year-old As well as assistant director Jan
Michelini while they were filming outside Rome. Neither of the two were
seriously injured in the incident, though it was the second time in a few
months that Jan had been hit.

In the first incident he suffered burns to his fingers when lightning stuck
the umbrella he was carrying. The crewmember, who has been dubbed "Lightning
Boy" by co-workers, was again carrying an umbrella when he was shocked a
second time.

"I'm a hundred yards away from them when I glance over and see smoke coming
out of Jim's ear," revealed producer Steve McEveety. "The main bolt hit
Caviezel and one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella."

The Lethal Weapon star, who this time serves as director, has invested $25
million of his own money in the film, which focuses on the final 12 hours of
Jesus' life.

Entitled The Passion Of Christ the movie has already sparked controversy in
the US, where it has been criticised for portraying Jews in a negative
light. The movie, which is filmed entirely in the ancient languages of Latin
and Aramaic, will go on general release early next year. "

Other weird stuffs are reported to be happening to the crew members at the
sites.
The Jesus actor Jim Caviezel is said to be very religious and have learned
Aramaic during the moviemaking.
Can anyone verify this ?
