Trailer for Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto” Hits The Net
Mel Gibson has returned to the spotlight once again with the trailer for his latest dead language epic “Apocalypto” (not to be confused with Finnish Metallica cover band Apocalyptica), now online over at Apple’s Quicktime site. I don’t really know much about this movie except that it involves the ancient Mayan civilization and all of the dialogue will be spoken in ancient Mayan (with subtitles, I assume). No big name stars are involved, with all the actors being indigenous Mayan locals. There has been speculation (supported now by some of the themes presented in the trailer) that the movie deals with the end of the world as predicted by the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012. It’s unknown exactly how much of this movie is based in historical fact and how much will be fiction, but I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more about this unique and mysterious project. Apocalypto is slated to hit theatres in summer 2006.
