Lauer said the film has not sought a distributor, but that at least three major studios are interested Boys said an Icon employee provided an intermediary with the script "It seems to me that the film looked on Jews as antagonists, Jesus as this perfect victim," she said Not just Jews are concerned â€â€? the film was first questioned by a nine-member panel that included Christians "I thought it was the most authentic portrayal I've ever seen He said Gibson first wanted to vet it before Christian scholars for accuracy Meanwhile, film industry observers are wondering whether this film can find an audience " The star of the blockbuster "Lethal Weapon" movies and Oscar-winning director of "Braveheart" has spent nearly $30 million of his own money to produce, co-write and direct "The Passion," starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene Filmed entirely in the dead languages of Aramaic and Latin, it has yet to secure a distributor Seven months before its release, this extraordinary vanity project is stirring passions over Gibson's exclusionary screenings and the potential for a negative depiction of Jews "It's a really difficult film Gibson said in a June statement that he and his film are not anti-Semitic Gibson is a member of an ultraconservative Catholic movement which rejects the Vatican's authority over the Catholic church The actor is building a traditionalist church in Malibu, Calif "My intention in bringing it to the screen is to create a lasting work of art and engender serious thought among audiences of diverse faith backgrounds (or none) who have varying familiarity with this story While Gibson said "The Passion" will be the most authentic account ever of the crucifixion, Boys said the script she read presented the Jews as more culpable for Christ's death than the Romans who executed him Also, although the recent screenings have included English subtitles, Icon hasn't decided whether to include them in a major release Trailers of the two-hour movie have turned up on some Web sites " But what is Gibson's version of the story? His traditionalist religion rejects the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, which in 1965 rejected the notion that Jews were collectively responsible for killing Jesus "We'd rather start from scratch with new people that we haven't had any bad experiences with," Lauer said In recent weeks, the actor-director has been building support with invitation-only screenings for film industry insiders, conservative commentators, evangelical Christians and sympathetic Jews "This is our fear Those who think "The Passion" could fuel anti-Semitism, however, haven't been allowed to see the film " But Haggard loved it Ted Haggard, president of the National Evangelical Association, saw a screening in late June with about 30 evangelical scholars " But critics of "The Passion" â€â€? who have not seen the film â€â€? worry that the popular Hollywood superstar will attract millions to see a violent, bloody recounting of the crucifixion that portrays Jews as a frenzied mob eager to watch Jesus die "I don't know that he will be able to find a studio that will distribute this," said Kim Masters, a film columnist for Esquire Magazine "Why doesn't he show it to us?" said Abraham Foxman, the director of the Anti-Defamation League Boys, a Catholic professor at the Union Theological Seminary who read an early draft of the script " Internet personality Matt Drudge told MSNBC: "It depicts a clash between Jesus and those who crucified him and speaking as a Jew, I thought it was a magical film that showed the perils of life on earth S " Lauer said the committee of scholars obtained a stolen, outdated script that is completely different from the rough cut of the film being screened The scholars are very strict about adherence to scripture, so Gibson "had no assurances that we would be friendly toward that movie "We feel like we've been prejudged Foxman, and those scholars who read the early script, will not be invited to future screenings, he said "If in fact the film is a loving film, a sensitive film, I'll be out there proclaiming and saying it's wonderful " Boys and others on the committee of nine Christian and Jewish scholars that reviewed the script said Gibson may be skewing public opinion by screening the film primarily for conservatives Conference of Catholic Bishops issued an apology this spring after learning a staff member had obtained a draft, and the script was returned Masters said industry people who have seen the film respect its quality, but said it is disturbingly graphic " Cal Thomas, a conservative syndicated columnist, called the film "the most beautiful, accurate, disturbing, realistic and bloody depiction of this well-known story that has ever been filmed It only recounts the last 12 hours of Christ's life, she said, and therefore lacks the context to explain the Jews' portrayal A 4 1/2-minute preview will air for tens of thousands of people attending a Christian festival this weekend in Anaheim, Calif " Gibson Gives Select 'Passion' Screenings Aug 8, 8:07 PM EST Those who have seen Mel Gibson's film about the final hours of Jesus Christ have called it beautiful, magical, a great and important work " Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said the center has received several dozen letters related to his criticism of the film "For too many years, Christians have accused Jews of being Christ-killers and used that charge to rationalize violence," said Sister Mary C Boys and others said they have received anti-Semitic hate mail after being quoted in news reports criticizing "The Passion His father, Hutton Gibson, was quoted in a New York Times Magazine article in March as denying the Holocaust occurred Gibson has said the film is faithful to the account of the crucifixion in the four Gospels and is meant "to inspire, not offend The U "It's not a family film, from what I understand," she said , for about 70 members, and intends to hold Sunday services there in Latin " Paul Lauer, marketing director for Gibson's Icon Productions company, said a screening will be held within a month for Jewish leaders, whom he would not name Cedarbaum, the Stewart trial judge, had ruled that the case was unusual because spectacular pretrial publicity led many members of the public to form opinions about Stewart's guilt or innocence in the stock trading case But it said the issues likely would arise in future trials and were too important to overlook Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum erred in refusing the media access to individual questioning of jurors, known as voir dire S To that, appeals Judge Loretta A " The three-judge appeals panel said that "to hold otherwise would render the First Amendment right of access meaningless The judges noted that jury selection has been closed historically only in extraordinary circumstances, which the U During oral arguments earlier this year before the appeals court, the judges were skeptical when prosecutors said the Stewart jury selection process should be closed Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the Stewart case did not immediately return calls seeking comment after the ruling Preska responded, "So what?" "We do not see anything in the district court's findings, other than perhaps the degree of media coverage, that differentiates this case from any other high-profile prosecution," the appeals court wrote Supreme Court has described as when "closure is essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest S " During one exchange, a prosecutor said it was necessary to keep the media out because they have paid so much attention to what Stewart wears to court that jurors would fear the media would analyze their clothing, too Media Win Stewart Jury Selection Ruling Feb 18, 11:55 AM EST The media should have been given access to jury selection in Martha Stewart's securities fraud trial, a federal appeals panel ruled Wednesday The appeals court said it knew its ruling was too late to make a difference in the Stewart trial, which began last month The 2nd U " It noted that openness of the court process "acts to protect, rather than to threaten, the right to a fair trial " Seventeen media organizations, including The Associated Press, had argued that high public interest should not close jury selection "The mere fact that the suit has been the subject of intense media coverage is not, however, sufficient to justify closure |
