Mel Gibson cuts himself into own trailer

satchmo

In the trailer for upcoming film Apolcalypto, Mel Gibson has cut in a picture of himself with a big cheesy grin standing beside some of the actors. It's at 1:43, just after the bit with the pregnant girl. Use the arrow keys to go frame-by-frame - no matter how many times I watch it I just can't see it at full speed.



The film looks a bit weird, but that picture is classic!

Hugh Hefner

Hahahahahaha, that's so cheesily cool.

Hadn't heard of this one before.

It's been filmed in the Mayan tounge... sheesh...

It seems Mel Gibson has gone mental. Good for him!

In other news.. I still haven't seen The Passion of Himself. Any point?

Kaablaa.

I was told to watch it by a friend, who said I've an "anti-supernatural bias". It's actually the first and only film I've ever fallen asleep during. So only saw like 20 mins. No point unless you reckon the bible is historically accurate.

looking forward to "the passion of the clerks"

Nonsense. I watch plenty of films that I don't believe to be true. I thought The Passion of the Christ was superb. Mel Gibson is an exceptional film maker.

Very much looking forward to Apolcalypto.

I agree, don't need to believe in the subject matter to appreciate a film. Although I'm still skeptical (heh, of the film that is. The subject matter is grand -- I enjoy a good fantasy )

Must check it out sometime.


(the beard on Mel though... that really does have crazy written all over it)

I love the cheek of him for doing it. At least he has a sense of humour.

No it doesn't, it's a stylish, elegant, majestic beard, it screams class.

Actually, I think I'll save that picture and start some photoshopping. :v:

lol, classic episode alright.

The trekkies are going to eat your brains when they see you spelt " Qapla' " as 'kaablaa'. I've heard they're not known for their sense of humour in these regards, which is ironic really.

'The Passion of the Jew' - What a classic episode. Funny, funny stuff. I had no idea he was really that crazy! I just don't know what to believe in any more!

You know, I had no idea it was Klingon. I thought it was just some bonkers scream. Cheers!

Passion of the Christ was a brilliant piece of film making.
As was said beforehand you don't need to believe in something to sit down and appreciate the time and thought that goes into it.

I for one think the films he's made so far have been nothing short of outstanding.

That photo is quality.

Did anyone else find the trailer a bit strange!?

I can't see how he's going to get people into the cinema's to see this one. Crazy old Martin Riggs.

Ps: The still of him smiling is brilliant.

That's classic. Any other trailers with a slide like this thrown in?

[edit] Just put it on 1/2 speed in Quicktime, and you can see Mel in all his glory.
