Interesting, and I agree with the sentiment.

Btw, about Mr. Gibson: what about the project of a movie with Boudicca as main subject? Gone? It was 2004 when I heard about this [did they do it only in English countries? I haven't noted it in Italy]

Regarding this topic:

In this case, better for Mr. Gibson to leave the glorious tale of the Maccabees in peace.

Doesn't make sense I tell ya. Braveheart is a great movie. Historically silly, but everything else is great. I wish he directed more historical period stuff. (The Patriot doesn't count here, he didn't direct that dog of a movie). All his directed movies have great pace and character, cinematography, great actors... sad to see this project dumped. What about his Viking one?
