		Filming of "Apocalypto" in Mexico is scheduled to commence in October for a planned release of Summer 2006.

		But later he admits to time, which this month was given the first look at Apocalypto's production, that the utter inexperience of most of the cast is a price he's paying for the authentic feel he wants in the film, in which dialogue is spoken solely in Yucatec Maya.
		Apocalypto, which Gibson loosely translates from the Greek as "a new beginning," was inspired in large part by his work with the Mirador Basin Project, an effort to preserve a large swath of the Guatemalan rain forest and its Maya ruins.

	Is Apocalypto Pornography?
		Captured for sacrifice, forced to march to the putrid city nearby, he endures every tropical jungle attack conceivable and that is after he escapes the relentless brutality of the elites.
		But I find the visual appeal of the film one of the most disturbing aspects of "Apocalypto." The jungles of Veracruz and Costa Rica have never looked better, the masked priests on the temple jump right off a Classic Maya vase, and the people are gorgeous.
		But in "Apocalypto," no mention is made of the achievements in science and art, the profound spirituality and connection to agricultural cycles, or the engineering feats of Maya cities.

		Gibson will not star in Apocalypto and may not use a star for the film, which is set in an ancient civilization some 3,000 years ago.

	Variety.com - Mel tongue-ties studios
		Set 500 years ago, pic will be filmed in an obscure Mayan dialect, presumably with the same kind of subtitles Gibson reluctantly added to "The Passion of the Christ." It will star a neophyte cast indigenous to the region of Mexico where Gibson will shoot in October.
		And because "Apocalypto" is not a religious pic, there's no guarantee of an encore turnout of the church groups and hardcore Catholics who made "The Passion of the Christ" a nearly $1 billion box office/DVD bonanza.
		While that paper piled up on ICM co-prexy Ed Limato's desk, Gibson was accumulating pages of his own, scribbling "Apocalypto" in his office and becoming so passionate about it that he changed his plans to star in the Icon-produced drama "Under and Alone" for Warner Bros.

	The Maya Legacy and Gibson's "Apocalypto"
		But, Gibson's anticipated blockbuster movie, spoken in a Maya dialect with English subtitles (as "The Passion of the Christ" used Aramaic), brings the public a tale of internal strife and competition for resources that caused Maya societies to unravel from the inside, leading to their collapse around 900-1000 AD.
		One man's defiance of his society is the theme of "Apocalypto." Even during the rise of kings, slavery and warfare, a core group held onto the original values that honored life and linked it to celestial forces.
		Now this deep wisdom is re-emerging, brought to the public's attention by contemporary elders and teachers, ushering forth a "Maya awareness." It prepares us for the great shift of 2012, when we begin a new era called the Fifth Sun, bringing a rise in human consciousness.

		Hence, the looming Apocalypto Syndrome: Mel Gibson is not exactly a poster boy for tolerance.
		Almost two months after he railed against Jews when he was arrested for driving drunk in Malibu, the actor made a surprise appearance Friday at Fantastic Fest, an event in Austin, Texas, devoted to new science fiction, horror and fantasy films, the trade paper said in its Monday edition.

	'Apocalypto' Later: Disney Pushes Back Gibson Epic - Mayan drama moves from August to December - Zap2it
		The Mayan-language epic, Gibson's first directing effort since a little film called "The Passion of the Christ," had previously been set for release on Aug. 4, but Disney seems convinced that the competition from the Will Ferrell comedy "Talladega Nights" and the animated "Ant Bully" might be too direct.
		Instead, the movie will be pushed to Dec. 8, a far better home if Disney hopes to have the drama in the race for winter awards.
		In its new December home, "Apocalypto" will compete with the comedy "The Holiday" and with Warner's inspirational football drama "We Are Marshall."
