APOCALYPTO

I saw the preview for a new movie that will come out this summer (2006). It is Mel Gibson's new movie called Apocalypto. It is set in Guatemala around the decline of the Mayan civilization, and I heard that it was filmed in a Mayan language, although I still haven't been able to figure out which one. To see a preview of the movie, go to Apocalypto.com.

From Academy Award winning filmmaker Mel Gibson ("The Passion of the Christ," "Braveheart"), comes APOCALYPTO: a heart stopping mythic action-adventure set against the turbulent end times of the once great Mayan civilization. When his idyllic existance is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, a man is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression where a harrowing end awaits him. Through a twist of fate and spurred by the power of his love for his woman and his family he will make a desperate break to return home and to ultimately save his way of life.
