You may or may not have heard about the controversial film 'The Passion Of Christ' which is directed and co-written by actor Mel Gibson, focusing on the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus. The film is being recoded in Latin and Aramaic languages, and although it is not due for release until early next year, it has already hit headlines after Jewish figures in the US slated it for being 'dangerous' and portraying Jews in a negative way. Well I guess it's proving more dangerous than anyone could have predicted, particularly for actor Jim Caviezel who is playing the part of Jesus. Since filming started, he has (during filming) been hit by lightning not once, but twice. I heard strange things went on during the filming of The Exorcist, but being hit twice by lightning? Wow. Makes you wonder doesn't it... Source: BBC News.
