What would Jesus direct?

Here’s a Reuters story by Claudia Parsons about how Hollywood has reassessed religious movies in light of the success of The Passion and Narnia. The article reminds me that people thought Gibson’s foreign-language Jesus film was going to be the least commercial movie ever made until a month or two before it opened. I also remember that people said he had lost his mind, spending thrity million of his own money on his project. When it made more than ten times that amount, people said he just did it for the money.
