I just hunted up the trailer and watched it. It's kind of hard to tell where Mel is going with this movie, but it's visually stunning.
I also found the link below as I was searching. They claim an "easter egg" photo of Mel is buried in one frame of the trailer. I don't know if it's really there or not and I need to head to bed, but perhaps someone who is bored this evening will check it out.

Hey did anyone read the Time magazine thing about Mel Gibson that is linked on Drudge? HE DOESN'T TLIKE BUSH-CHENEY!
