Something tells me that he's not really concerned with wealth.

I agree. That's what is so disingenuous of doofus Andy Rooney who accused Mel of "making money off the Crucifixion."

The reality is that Gibson expected he'd lose millions on this film.

God, apparently, had other ideas.

You know, if Mel located a production company in the heartland, and issued stock, I bet he would have millions of backers and a ready made audience.

Besides films based on religion, he could make some movies based on the conflicts in Iran and Afghanistan, the heroism of September 11, the stories of everyday heroes in our country, historical dramas of great people, etc.

There is such a need for this. I think he could change the course of the entire industry.

I derive great pleasure of thinking of the media people having to trek to Indianapolis or Columbus. HA!
