Apocalypto starting a trend?

From Filmstew.com: Antonio Banderas is taking a page from Mel Gibson's book - his history book - and is set to play Hernan Cortez in an upcoming film to be called Conquistador. Gibson is currently well along on his Central American historical epic Apocalypto. Daily Variety reports Brazilian eirector Andrucha Waddington is set to direct the medium-budget historical epic this fall in Spain and Mexico. The script is by Nicholas Kazan and deals with the historical conquistador's violent conquest of the Aztec Empire, which resulted in the destruction of the Aztec's advanced culture. And another page from Apocalypto, some of the scenes will be in Mayan and Nahuatl. Gibson's film will be entirely in native dialect. [source] [photo credit: Steve Granitz/WireImage.com Photo]
