We're a long way from The Man Without a Face.

Mel Gibson gave a press conference to discuss his upcoming film Apocalypto. "What I'm doing is making in action-adventure film of mythic proportions," he said. Gibson has cast the film, set in 16th century Central America, with unknown Mexican actors who will speak in the Mayan dialect of Yucateco.

And what's next for Gibson?
Apparently he's preparing for the titular role in The Saddam Hussein Story.
