Yes, you read right, and yes, your cries of “WTF?!” are echoed across America. According to Time magazine, Mel Gibson is to speak en lengua maya at the Oscars this Sunday.
His last film, The Passion of the Christ, was spoken entirely in the dead languages of Latin and Aramaic. Now Mel Gibson will appear in a brief spot on this Sunday’s Oscar broadcast speaking another exotic tongue: Maya. That’s the sole language of Apocalypto, the adventure epic set in Pre-Columbian Mexico that Gibson is currently shooting on the edge of southern Mexico’s rainforests, in the state of Veracruz.
