Cavuto normally does great commentaries, but he's gone off half-cocked this time.

Here are the actual quotes from the NYDN piece Cavuto bases his rant on:

"I think this whole thing is going to be quite harmful to his career," said Lloyd Leipzig, a 50-year veteran of the film business and retired studio executive. "I don't think you can put him in the same roles anymore. All of a sudden he's a different person and, accordingly, you're not going to find a lot of people who will take chances with him."
"Hollywood is not the most religious society on Earth," said James Ulmer, author of the "Hollywood Hot List." "Their faith isn't in God, it's in money. It's profits over prophets." ... "If Mel brings home over $100 million at the box office for a film in Aramaic and Latin - believe me, he will get hired again."
Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box office tracking company Exhibitor Relations, said there's no doubt the "public perception" of Gibson will shift. "He's now opened up a very personal part of his life to the world, and that will change his image," he said. "But he will remain one of the most popular stars."

That's hardly justification for Cavuto to declare that Gibson is a "marked man", and that people are out to "exact revenge" on him for daring to make a movie about Jesus. And it certainly doesn't justify the opening line: "Now they're threatening Mel Gibson."

The quotes just indicate that Hollywood, like any business, is cautious (perhaps too cautious) about thye possible public reception problems of its "representatives". Whether their concerns are right or wrong is irrelevant to the point that the article's quotes are about perceived "marketability" of a leading man in the movie business, not an anti-religious vendetta.

While there has been a lot of overreaction by the film's critics, there's been a heck of a lot of overreaction by its defenders, too.

Mel himself denied that "Hollywood" had had a bad reaction to him over this movie. In his interview with Dr. James Dobson on Focus On the Family he said "actually Hollywood has been really cool about it."

If he does find that Hollyweird shuns him maybe he can go back down under and make movies in New Zealand with Hollywood outsider and rank amateur Peter Jackson. Perhaps a sweeping epic about the U.S./Soviet Cold War culminating with Pres. Reagan's masterful victory.
