So Mel Gibson's being sued.
Benedict Fitzgerald is claiming Gibson lowballed him on the screenplay rights for The Passion of the Christ by vastly understating the expected budget of the film. What's curious is that Gibson is lobbying to keep the film's financial records sealed away from public view while his defense is trying to dismiss the fraud charge, thus escaping the wrath of punitive damages, where cash prizes can get really insane.
I think it's time for both Gibson and Fitzgerald to ask "Why Would Jesus Sue?"
