When Sean asked him what one he'd like to do, he said the book of Maccabees!
Imagine, fellow Freakers, the cinematic representation of the Salucid Anarch, Antiochus Epiphanes, precursor of the anti-christ, the abomination of desolation standing in the place where it ought not, prophaning the alter of the Most High with a dagger to the throat of a pig.

Could a film like this inspire our Jewish brothers and sisters to restore their temple?

Well, probably not. But it would make for damned appetizing theater, don't you think?

I'm imagining it! Sort of blows all the "anti-Semitism" crap all to hades right before the starting gate...don't you think? There is not a Jew that could claim that a movie about the Maccabees could be anti-Semitic, but they might complain "how dare a Christian or Catholic make a Jewish movie?"

I'd really look forward to the story of the Maccabees done by Mel Gibson.

You better believe they would. Especially after some dumb muslim sand crawler sees it and decides to do the same thing at the Wailing Wall.
