Ananova:

A robot Christ was used for crucifixion scenes in Mel Gibson's new film, The Passion of The Christ.

The £220,000 electrical body double was made because the weather was too cold for actor Jim Caviezel to be filmed in just a loincloth, says The Sun.

The film's director Mel Gibson has revealed he's planning another Biblical epic - this time based on a Jewish revolt in 200BC, told in ancient Greek texts.
