FoxNews columnist Father Morris praises Apocalypto

Reader Antonius spotted this article over at FoxFan Central:

"Mel Gibson Did It Again!"

by Father Jonathan Morris

Never before had I made an intercontinental flight to see a movie. But that's what I did this month when I accepted Mel Gibson's invitation to preview and critique his new film "Apocalypto," scheduled to appear in theaters on December 8th.
I didn't make the trek across the ocean for entertainment value.

My work as a consultant on and off the set of Gibson's "Passion of the Christ," gave me a new appreciation of the power of well-made, serious, and widely-distributed movies. They influence culture. They affect the way we think about the story they tell. Sometimes they warp our view of history or of humanity. Other times they inform, inspire, and challenge. But they always leave a mark.

...

Because I know Mel, his noble intentions and his creative genius, I was eager, though somewhat unconvinced, to see how much his new film would matter.

Mel has done it again! His film matters. That's my critique of "Apocalypto." [More...]

The MPAA has given Apocalypto an R rating for "sequences of graphic violence and disturbing images".
Not a big surprise...

ABC releases excerpt from Mel Gibson's GMA interview

ABC released this excerpt today, and will release more from Mel Gibson's interview on Good Morning America soon:

Diane Sawyer: "What did you think it was?"

Mel Gibson: "Me? It was just the stupid rambling of a drunkard, you know and ... what I need to do to heal myself and to be assuring and allay the fears of others and to heal them if they had any heart wounds from something I may have said. So, this is the last thing I want to be is that kind of monster," Gibson said.

Everything you need to know about Mel Gibson's interview with Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer

The Gist: Diane Sawyer will be conducting the first media interview with Mel Gibson since his DUI arrest this summer.

The Show: Good Morning America.

The Time: Thursday (Oct. 12th) & Friday (Oct. 13th) from 7 to 9am.

What We Can Expect: The interview "will be a segment in the show,'' said ABC news spokeswoman Bridgette Maney. "It's not going to be the entire 'Good Morning America'.'' As for what to expect during the discussion, [Mel] Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, would only say, "We'll have to wait and see.'' - AP Entertainment

More Backstory: Diane Sawyer has interviewed Mel Gibson before. Here is a transcript of her famous interview on ABC Primetime with Mel in 2004 about The Passion of the Christ (the entire segment can be purchased here from Amazon).

The TV Squad claims that Sawyer set up this interview with Mr. Gibson several months ago to be about Apocalypto, but of course the movie will probably no longer be the only focus of the interview segments (above photo also via the TV Squad).

This post will be updated as more information becomes available.

Apocalypto movie official website checkup

The official website for Apocalypto recently updated its design, but still has very little information moved over to the new navigation menu at this point.

Besides the trailer, the website only has the synopsis of Apocalypto:
'From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Mel Gibson (The Passion of the Christ, Braveheart), comes Apocalypto: a heart stopping mythic action-adventure set against the turbulent end times of the once great Mayan civilization. When Jaguar Paw's (Rudy Youngblood) idyllic existence is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, he is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression where a harrowing end awaits him. Through a twist of fate and spurred by the power of his love for his woman and his family he will make a desperate break to return home and to ultimately save his way of life."
We'll notify our readers when more content becomes available. In the meantime, you can download several official movie desktop wallpapers (such as the one above) here and order the official Apocalypto poster online here.

Mel Gibson to appear in a two-part interview on Good Morning America next week

Hot off the press:

LOS ANGELES - Is Mel Gibson on the road to redemption?

The embattled 50-year-old actor-director, whose high-profile drunken-driving arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic tirade made international headlines over the summer, is set to appear on "Good Morning America" next week.

...

He spoke with Diane Sawyer somewhere in Southern California recently for a two-part TV interview scheduled to air on Disney-owned ABC's "Good Morning America" on Oct. 12 and 13. This is the first time Gibson has talked to the media since his arrest.

The interview "will be a segment in the show," said ABC news spokeswoman

Bridgette Maney. "It's not going to be the entire `Good Morning America' that day."
As for what to expect during the discussion, Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, said, "We'll have to wait and see."
