Lightstorm Entertainment purchased the movie rights to a Sports Illustrated cover article by Gary Smith called "The Deadly Dive". It's about Free Diving. Remember Luc Besson's "The Big Blue"? This one's real.

A well-known science buff, used a specially crafted Russian-built submersible to shoot footage of the real Titanic for his 1997 blockbuster as well as his 3-D Ghosts.

He will have at his disposal plenty of SCUBA gear as well as two submersibles he's used on those previous efforts.

Meanwhile in other news, the director is developing a new scripted top-secret feature film that will use the 3-D technology of Ghosts of the Abyss.

Those who have seen Mel Gibson's film about the final hours of Jesus Christ have called it beautiful, magical, a great and important work.

Those who think "The Passion" could fuel anti-Semitism, however, haven't been allowed to see the film. Seven months before its release, this extraordinary vanity project is stirring passions over Gibson's exclusionary screenings and the potential for a negative depiction of Jews.

Not just Jews are concerned,the film was first questioned by a nine-member panel that included Christians. Gibson is a member of an ultraconservative Catholic movement which rejects the Vatican's authority over the Catholic church.

Gibson has said the film is faithful to the account of the crucifixion in the four Gospels and is meant "to inspire, not offend".

Still waiting for the film on the life of L. Ron Hubbard... I was thinking of casting on that film, who would be a good LRH? I'm thinking that one guy from "That 70's Show"... No not Ashton Kuchter! That guy with the sunglasses.

Anyway...
