AP: Gibson's 'Passion' to Debut Ash Wednesday

Mel Gibson's passion-stirring Biblical epic "The Passion of Christ" will open in the United States on Feb. 25 — Ash Wednesday on the Roman Catholic calendar.

Well, it's Ash Wednesday for us Lutherans, too. ;-) Seriously, I had a feeling this movie would open on Holy Week.

"The Passion of Christ" stars Jim Caviezel as Christ and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. The dialogue is in Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic with English subtitles.

I had heard that the name of the movie had been changed. And there has been some confusion as to whether there would be subtitles or not. Apparently it will, which I think is a wise decision.
