Mel Gibson under Fire for making Jesus Film
In the middle of shooting Passion, a film about the last days of the life of Christ, Mel Gibson says that the press is prying into his private life as never before in his very successful career.
"Whenever you take up a subject like this, it does bring out a lot of enemies," Mr. Gibson said on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor.” He also said that his banking records, charitable interests, friends, business associates and family members have all undergone scrutiny in this investigation.
"This is a movie about love, faith, hope and forgiveness," Mr. Gibson said. "He (Jesus) died for all mankind. He suffered for all of us. It's time to get back to that basic message. The world has gone nuts. We could all use a little more love, faith, hope and forgiveness."
"A lot of unusual things have been happening — good things, like people being healed of diseases. A guy who was struck by lightning while we were filming the crucifixion scene just got up and walked away."
