Gibson Makes Passion Settlement

Mel Gibson appears to have settled his lawsuit with Benedict Fitzgerald, the screenwriter for The Passion of the Christ. The BBC website is claiming that Fitzgerald and Gibson have settled on an undisclosed sum after Fitzgerald claimed that Gibson told him the cost of making the film was substantially lower than it actually was. Last month he had demanded to see the accounts for the hit film. Fitzgerald is currently working on Mary, Mother of the Christ due to star Al Pacino as Herod.
