October 12, 2006: Apocalypto B-T-S:
Realizing that APOCALYPTO is right around the corner (December 8th release),
Mel Gibson wisely thought it prudent to begin the long road to redemption by placing himself at the mercy of Diane Sawyer as he can't afford to alienate any more of
the...
September 14, 2006: Apocalypto trailer:
The first theatrical trailer for Mel Gibson's APOCALYPTO has launched at Apple and, while I think the the trailer is pretty effing cool, I'm still not exactly sold on the movie. I am no fan of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and I don't seem to like BRAVEHEART...
August 9, 2006: Disney dropping Mel?:
Before this whole Mel-Gibson-says-Jews-are-the-devil story broke, I was actually really looking forward to seeing APOCALYPTO. I don't know whether his "incident" dissuades me from seeing it but I have a sinking feeling it'll effect the way I watch it. Sorta...

December 21, 2005: Update: Apocalypto teaser!:
Update: Since there's been some debate in the strike backs below, here's the proof. Yes, Mel Gibson hid a frame of himself with a goofy smile and joint in his mouth in the teaser. Thanks to Josh from Cinema Blend , Dave Poland from Movie City News and our...
December 16, 2005: Apocalypto footage:
You gotta hand it to Mel Gibson. His upcoming APOCALYPTO not only takes
place hundreds of years ago at the fall of the Mayan Empire but once again, he's using an ancient dead language instead of English or say, a non-dead ancient language.
It may not...
October 31, 2005: Gibson hits the jungle:
