Hmmm… well it looks like all those people who said Mel Gibson would be destroyed for making a religious film are eating huge doses of crow these days. Not only was Passion of the Christ a HUGE Box Office success, but Gibson himself is going to be given the Hollywood Film Festival’s Producer of the Year award as well. Rope of Silicon gives us this:
“Mel Gibson’s career exemplifies extraordinary ability, craftsmanship, and determination. He is an excellent example of a highly talented filmmaker whose work and creative vision are to be honored,” festival founder Carlos de Abreu said.
I couldn’t agree more. Boy this guys has come a long way from Mad Max. Good on ya Mel.
