Gibson says won't be deterred from Passion of the Christ even though it might kill his career

In exclusive interview on EWTN Global Network, Mel Gibson said he thinks his latest movie, “The Passion of the Christ”, may end his Hollywood career, but he doesn’t care.

In a sneak preview of the interview, Gibson said: "I don't know if I will ever work again. I've said that this is a career-killer and it could well be, but that doesn't matter because I don't care." He was responding a question by the host of “The World Over Live” program, Raymond Arroyo, about the controversy the film has caused.

The actor/director also told Arroyo that the film is unique in that "it reflects my beliefs – I've never done that before."

The complete interview will air on EWTN Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. EDT, Jan. 24 at 1 a.m. EDT, Jan. 25 at 5 p.m. EDT, and Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. EDT and 11 p.m. EDT. "The Passion of the Christ" has its North American release date set for Ash Wednesday, Feb. 25.
