"Rest assured, Mel will have subtitles."

You must have missed this part:
Gibson wants to show the film without subtitles. "The audience will have to focus on the visuals," he says. "But they had silent films before talkies arrived, and people went to see them."

I do hope Mel changes his mind. I fear today's spoon fed crowds won't sit still for a film based on visualization alone, and I'd love to see it become a blockbuster. Besides, it would be a missed opportunity for those who don't know the story, to learn it well by understanding what is being said.

I may be in the minority here, but I wish this film would be produced in English. Even if he does decides to use subtitles, I dread having to race-read for an entire film.

I don't think he can market it without subtitles. The studio might , in the end, insist on it.

having to race-read
isn't that a hate crime?
