Hollywood, CA - Variety Magazine reports that no major studio wants to touch Mel Gibson's latest film, "The Passion," since it has been re-titled to "The Jewish Christ Killers who took over Hollywood."

The controversial movie about Jesus' death has inspired more hostile attention than any movie since American Idol's "From Justin to Kelly".

"When Mel first approached us with the idea of creating a movie about the death of Jesus, naturally we were less than eager, but open to the idea," said Shoshana Silverstein, of Castle Rock Entertainment.

"After all, getting to work with a first class hottie like Mel Gibson was worth setting back Jewish progress another 50 years."

"However, after seeing Mel's latest revision in the title, we were deeply offended. Jews have done more than just Hollywood. We work in banks, fashion, diamonds, umm…..those deli's that serve matzah ball soup" said Silverstein.

"Oh yeah, that whole 'Christ-killer' statement kind of pissed us off too."

Gibson's company, JACK Productions, did not seek out buyers for the film, but waited to see which suitors came knocking. The studios, scared off by the acronym (Jews Are Christ Killers) kept their distance.

JACK did get interest from small, independent companies without public shareholders or other assets, like the Volkswagen and Denny's, that could not be hurt by boycotts or protests.

Two higher-profile independents, Lions Gate and Miramax, have expressed interest in the film and have asked to see it. They have yet to be invited.

The film could prove problematic for Miramax and Lion's Gate, as the parent companies, the Orthodox Union, and the National Organization Against Mel Gibson and his Anti-Semetic Antics dislikes controversy.

"There were millions of letters written and 25,000 people marched on Universal," said Yankel Cohen, President of 20th Century Fox. "I haven't seen that many Jews since the winter closeout sale at Syms."

Some studio executives point to the last controversial movie about Jesus as a case in point, the Martin Scorsese film "The Last Temptation of Christ." The film proposed that Christ was plagued with the same faults and appetites as Jewish men.

It's possible, though remotely, that Icon, which distributes most of Gibson's films, may opt to put "The Passion" in U.S. theaters itself.

"While his occasionally strident public statements have not played well in an industry predominantly liberal and significantly Jewish, Mel still remains one of the most bankable stars in history," said Judah Rosenberg a top studio executive.

"I just hope Mel will abandon his stereotypical idea of Jews and realize that we didn't mean to kill Jesus and … uh … wait scrap that last sentence. Oy, here comes another 2,000 years of persecution."
