"The £220,000 electrical body double was made because the weather was too cold for actor Jim Caviezel to be filmed in just a loincloth"

That makes no sense at all. It makes it sound like they set up the shot, realized it was too cold, and called the 24 hour robot shop to whip up a body double robot right away.

The figure of Christ during the crucifixion is actually James Caviezel, despite popular rumors - no animatronics were used.

Hmmm.

The film's director Mel Gibson has revealed he's planning another Biblical epic - this time based on a Jewish revolt in 200BC, told in ancient Greek texts.

Maccabees & Masada?

So... will this film be anti-Roman? Who's going to stand up for those Romans?

Oh my Gawd. He's gonna do Masada.....

Lord, I pray, let lightning strike the more appropriate actor this time. Please. Our suffering world needs no more films depicting gory religious violence.
