Jesus actor struck by lightning

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Has anyone noticed this small news from BBC? It's from 23rd October.

There's a link to original page.

 

I have chosen to remain silent in sahaja yoga; but I was thinking if

anyone is interested in sharing views; I have a pro-sahaja yoga

group in: hyperborean_secrets/

 

I made it, because it became apparent, that I need more silent and

poetic way to express my heart.

 

Thank you for your attention,

 

Jukka

Jesus actor struck by lightning

Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus

in Mel Gibson's controversial film The Passion Of Christ.

 

The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the film's assistant director

Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few

hours from Rome.

 

It was the second time Michelini had been hit by lightning during

the shoot.

 

Neither of them was badly hurt, according to the film's producer

Steve McEveety.

 

Michelini had previously been struck during filming in Matera,

Italy, when he suffered light burns to his fingers after lightning

hit his umbrella.

 

Describing the second lightning strike, McEveety told VLife, a

supplement of the trade paper Variety: " I'm about a hundred feet

away from them when I glance over and see smoke coming out of

Caviezel's ears. "

 

The Passion Of Christ, which was filmed in the ancient languages of

Latin and Aramaic, is directed and co-written by actor Mel Gibson

and focuses on the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus.

 

Although it is not due for release until early next year, it has

already hit headlines after Jewish figures in the United States

slated it for being " dangerous " and portraying Jews in a negative

way.

 

Originally titled The Passion, the film changed its title last week

after Miramax claimed the rights to the title for one of its own

projects, a historical epic based on a Jeanette Winterson novel.

 

The film now looks set to be released in the States by independent

distributors Newmarket Films, who released Memento and Whale Rider

in the US.
