I dreamed Mel Gibson was making a new movie
The new movie was about prehistoric land-dwelling parrots who spoke a bird-language, and the whole thing was going to be filmed in parrot-language with English subtitles. There was some bar or something that had copyrighted the phrase that served as the movie's title, and was suing Gibson over the right to use the word "parrot" in that context.

What does this mean?

1. You're not too far off:
Mel Gibson planning a new historical epic

LOS ANGELES - Mel Gibson is planning another historical epic. And like The Passion of the Christ, it will be shot in an archaic tongue.

ADVERTISEMENT

The writer-director plans an October starting date to shoot Apocalypto, set 500 years ago in Central America, his spokesman, Alan Nierob, said.

Dialogue will be spoken in an obscure Mayan dialect, in the same way Gibson used Aramaic and Latin for his religious blockbuster The Passion.

Also like The Passion, Gibson will bankroll Apocalypto himself. Disney has signed on to release it domestically for a fee, similar to the deal Gibson struck with Newmarket Films to distribute The Passion, one of 2004's top hits with $370 million in domestic revenues.

Due out next summer, Apocalypto will feature a cast of unknowns native to the area in Mexico where the film will be shot, according to the Hollywood trade paper Variety. Gibson will not appear in the film, and he's keeping the plot under wraps.
