Apocalypto in the news: Nov. 28 edition

A few semi-random samplings of Apocalypto in the news and around the net: Reuters: "But there are a few other unknown quantities that could swoop in and earn one of the five drama nominations. Perhaps the biggest question mark is Disney's "Apocalypto," the Mel Gibson Mayan adventure that takes place in a dead language and features a cast of unknowns...A few early screenings of "Apocalypto" did seem to suggest that it had something unique to offer, though, and if "Passion" proved anything, it's that the industry shouldn't discount what might seem like a wholly unmarketable project." McClatchy Newspapers: "Apocalypto: Curiosity is high around this subtitled, action-heavy historical drama about the ancient Mayan civilization..." Variety: "But the word has seeped out: From Gibson's troubled mind has emerged yet another brilliant exercise in filmmaking, extremely violent, yet compelling. The inner demons that play havoc with his personal life continue to energize his creative vision."
