Thanks to the many supporters of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ"!

Visit our websites for the latest news articles and FAQ's for Mel
Gibson's film. In effort to reach even more people, the website has now also
been translated into Portuguese and Russian, with even more languages
coming soon.

Here are just a few news items we wanted to mention:

1) The official title of the movie has changed to "The Passion of
Christ".

2) Although the film is still struggling for a distributor, the goal is
to release the film in US theaters on February 25, 2004. (Hopefully, we
will not have to wait much longer).

3) We had previously stated on our website that "James Horner" was the
composer for the film's soundtrack. He is NOT, and we apologize for
this mis-information. On a related note, it is rumored that the lead
singer of the pop rock group, The Cranberries, is singing a song in Latin
for the soundtrack.

As many of you know, the film still struggles to get a US distributor
for the film, but there are some prospects. (Please see the NEWS section
of the website for more details). Your support continues to be
outstanding. Just in the past month, there has been an overwhelming response
of supporters. We wish to share with you how your support is
beneficial. The following link will show you the popular areas of interest
based on the information you provide us on the website. This information
could prove to be useful to those considering distributing the film. In
particular, note the increased areas of concentration in just the past
month:

When a certain area has a high concentration of interest, there is an
increased likelihood that "The Passion of Christ" will be shown in
theaters in that area. Distributors are meeting with Icon Productions in
the following weeks and months, so you and your friends' support is
crucial at this time.

Also, many of you have asked if there are more ways to promote Mel
Gibson's "The Passion of Christ". Simply talking to others about the movie
helps. You can pray that the film be made available to those who want
to see it and that it touches the hearts of its' viewers. Also, if you
know of anyone who would be interested in this movie, please let them
know about it and ask them to visit the website.

We have received many requests that we adjust our online petition, the
"Support Passion" section, so that people can sign the petition without
an email address. We have made this adjustment. Now, when you sign the
petition, simply UNCHECK the box that says "Please send me news and
announcements" and you can sign the petition without an email address.
This is especially helpful for those who have circulated a petition and
collected names without email addresses. Those names can now be submitted
to us on our petition:

would have an interest in the movie, we have provided text and images that
you can use to link to our website:
