Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus in Mel Gibson's controversial film The Passion Of Christ.

The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the film's assistant director Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few hours from Rome.
It was the second time Michelini had been hit by lightning during the shoot.
Neither of them was badly hurt, according to the film's producer Steve McEveety.
Michelini had previously been struck during filming in Matera, Italy, when he suffered light burns to his fingers after lightning hit his umbrella.
Describing the second lightning strike, McEveety told VLife, a supplement of the trade paper Variety: "I'm about a hundred feet away from them when I glance over and see smoke coming out of Caviezel's ears."
The Passion Of Christ, which was filmed in the ancient languages of Latin and Aramaic, is directed and co-written by actor Mel Gibson and focuses on the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus.
Although it is not due for release until early next year, it has already hit headlines after Jewish figures in the United States slated it for being "dangerous" and portraying Jews in a negative way.
Originally titled The Passion, the film changed its title last week after Miramax claimed the rights to the title for one of its own projects, a historical epic based on a Jeanette Winterson novel.
The film now looks set to be released in the States by independent distributors Newmarket Films, who released Memento and Whale Rider in the US.

I recall watching an documentary on lighting strike before...
there was tis guy had been strike by lighting for about 8 times in his life and didn't die...they said that he might be a walking lighting resister...
If what they say is true...
Guess that tis Jan Michelini will be expecting more encounter...
So, if you had been strike by lighting before and didn't die...
GOD BLESS YOU -

possible. but doubtful.Originally posted by NeonTetra:He anyhow act and misrepresent Christ?
Look at "Last Temptation of Christ"... condemned by many for its blasphemous nature... and im totally inclined to agree... yet didnt nothing happen to it?
IMHO... im keen to catch this movie. have not seen a worthwhile movie on Christ for too long liao
on a lighter note, perhaps God wanna charge up the actor batteries... so he can act longer mah... God might be enjoying watching us try unsuccessfully to "emulate" his on Son =) -

erm in that movie... erm jesus was portrayed to have the similar vices as the worst of common men in general... and its pretty blasphemous in the sense that it insults a God as well as contradicts the Bible... despite what people may detractOriginally posted by NeonTetra:Blaphemous like wat?
but then i never watched it... so cant really comment... FYI its banned
but The Passion is NOT blasphemous... so far... and i intend to watch it... hopefully with her
and besides... there aint too many modern films abt Jesus lately... modern in the sense of the 2000s standards... not like "Ten Commandments", "Jesus of Nazareth" era-style -
