I doubt that Mel Gibson will have as difficult a time in finding a willing distributor for his next film - even if it will upset secular Hollywood again. Mel Gibson recently bought the rights to the book, “Stealing from Angels,” which involves the three secrets of Fatima. The last surviving witness to whom the Virgin Mary appeared near Fatima, Sister Lucia de Jesus de Santos, died two weeks ago at age 97 in Portugal.
The first two parts of the three Fatima prophecies have been known for decades and are interpreted as predicting World War I and World War II. The third prophecy was described by the Los Angeles Times as “one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern times.” In the year 2000 the Catholic Church revealed the third vision of Fatima.
Vatican officials concluded that the third Fatima prophecy was at least partly related to the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square in 1981. Angelo Sodano, Vatican Secretary of State, stated on May 13, 2000:
"The vision of Fatima concerns above all the war waged by atheist systems against the Church and Christians, and it describes the immense suffering endured by the witnesses to the faith in the last century of the second millennium. It is an interminable Way of the Cross led by the Popes of the twentieth century."

This would not be to far fetched I guess. It may be and then then the viewers would learn to Know Mary,ect.
Do you opine that Mel Gibson is creating a "new" Hollywood, maybe called "Holywood," made up of religious films and films with positive and/or religious themes (Christian and Catholic Christian) which capture the imagination of people who attend movies and those who would not normally attend a movie theater?
Me thinks his successes will breed a new type of movie producer, unafraid to re-vert to the 1940's or 1950's style of movie production. But on a smaller scale, of course.
When it comes to prophecies, i generally stick to the written Word of God. Less controversy that way. Besides, it's never been wrong.
