Gibson's Apocalypto delayed

Mel Gibson's upcoming film Apocalypto has hit delays and looks set to be moved from August 4th to December 8th.

According to The Age it's because of nothing more serious that bad weather.

A spokesman for Disney, which is releasing Apocalypto, said Sunday the production had fallen behind because of heavy rains in the wilds of Mexico, where Gibson is shooting the film.

More delays for more films. However there's no big concern here, rain stopped play and the film has been delayed, at least Gibson has the power to stretch the release dates rather than try and cram the rest of production into a short timeline.

He has the power to do whatever he thinks is right. His directing career so far is outstanding.

I'd also like to see him act though, do we know if there are any plans for a LW 5? Or any new project?

I blogged about this today, but I totally think this is also a marketing move to get it into award season since it's really not poised for blockbuster success.

I doubt if that was what Gibson wanted, (or that he even cares at all) he didnt bother with Passion of the Christ either, why now?

i don't care how long it takes him to finish the movie as long as it gets done right.
