ROME, Italy -- Actor Jim Caviezel, who plays the son of God in Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion of Christ" has been struck by lightning during shooting.

Caviezel was uninjured, but a producer described how he saw lightning come out of the actor's ear.

An assistant director on the film, Jan Michelini, was also hit -- for the second time in a few months.

The first time, a lightning fork struck his umbrella during filming on top of a hill near Matera in Italy, causing light burns to the tips of his fingers, VLife, a supplement to Variety publications said in its October issue.

A few months later the second strike happened, a few hours from Rome.

Michelini was again carrying an umbrella, and standing next to Caviezel on top of a hill, the magazine said.

Both were hit, with the main bolt striking Caviezel while one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella. Neither were hurt.

The film, which is spoken in Latin and Aramaic, has come in for criticism from religious leaders. It portrays the last hours of Christ, but some Jewish and Roman Catholic groups are concerned the film will fuel anti-Semitism.

This makes me want to see this film even more now.

All those people who said god hates the jews can officially kiss my ass.

Funniest thing I've heard all week.

[paul mecurio] HEY JIM, STOP MAKING THE GOD DAMN MOVIE! [/paul mecurio] CAN'T YOU TAKE A HINT FROM GOD!!!

Strike this poor guy with your lightning during the making of this film but you don't do jack shit to Matthew Broderick during the filming of Godzilla.

thanks. good job.

No need to, he fucked up his career with that piece of shit just fine.

Actually, I thought that Godzilla was only the beginning, the first nail in the coffin...

Inspector Gadget finished the job.


Poor lil' Ferris.

Oh yeah, I never saw Gadget but I just assumed it'd be a piece of shit and thus ruin an otherwise classic cartoon.

I couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes.

I'm sure the sequel was just as awful.

I have yet to see a decent movie with Cavieziel in it. Except for Frequency. Everything else this guy has done has blown. Maybe the lightning strike was a subtle hint from the Man upstairs to umm, I dunno maybe get out of acting??

I dunno how this movie is going to do considering it's being filmed in Latin and Aramaic, with no subtitles from what I understand.

As for Mr. Broderick, he is getting punished. He gets Gadget after screwing up Godzilla, but, look at who he comes home to. That's not punishhment enough?? She was hot in that Bruce Willis movie, now she really looks like Mr Ed. She has so not aged gracefully.
