Mel Gibson is set to make a movie about Judah Macabee, the hero of the Jewish holiday Chanukah. Macabee led a revolt against the oppressive rule of the Syrian-Greeks in pre-Roman Judea. Mel was attracted to the material because it features a Jew starting a war.
Mel wants the film to be completely historically accurate, except that instead of the Greek Army, Judah Macabee will beat Oksana Grigorieva.
With all Jewish characters, Gibson will make a film that critics and audiences might love, but he will still hate.
Mel says the action in this movie is going to knock your teeth out – and you deserve it.
It’s been said that Gibson sees Macabee as a Jewish version of William Wallace. The title of the movie will be Brave Schnoz.
