It's not gonna be as good as the book

So The Nativity Story is out this Friday. It doesn't interest me a lot, but there's some interesting casting. Mary is being played by Keisha Castle-Hughes, the star of Whale Rider. Apparently she also played the Queen of Naboo in SW:III. And Gabriel? Dr. Fuzzy from DS9.

Oh, you mean the Nativity Story? :-P

I'm surprised they didn't get Mel Gibson to direct - I mean, he already covered the other end, why not do the book-ends?

Sorry, I'm in strange mood. Must be Brno.

"Oh, look! A typo!"

Mel's too busy chronicling the end of the Incas, which actually looks pretty cool.

Actually, I didn't know what you were talking about until I followed the link. I was having a bad brain morning or something. (I noticed you edited your post as well - revisionist!)

Yes, fixing typos is a horribly habit of mine.

She's also 16 and pregnant, which I find HILARIOUS.

Seems to be hewing to the source material.
