Britney To Play Joan Of Arc?

The Mel Gibson-Britney Spears meeting last week was very mysterious. Was it pop fiction? Are they friends? Well apparently they're collaborating on a new movie.

Mel wants to recreate the 1928 movie The Passion of Joan of Arc, and thinks Brit is prefect for the part of Joan. The original movie details the last hours of Joan of Arc after she has been captured by the English. It goes through her trial, torturing, and execution.

Wonder what made Mel think Brit can pull this off? 2007 was kind of a crazy year for her, but she was being herself, not acting.

I generally believe Mel sees the potiental in her. I think she could play the part even better than she thinks she can. besides it would be really good for her. Britney made a mistake, so what we all do. give her a chance. Mel made mistakes too, and I'm very proud of him for Making the passion of the Christ!

Sounds more like a remake of "The Messenger" if you ask me...

A slut like Britney has as much in common with Saint Joan of Arc as Hugh Hefner has with Jesus. Mel is just trying to help her but would never cast her as a Saint.

This is an outrage! What's next, Mickey Rourke to play Jesus Christ?! Joan of Arc is a saint canonized almost a century ago for her devotion to God & king 4 centuries ago. The only thing Britney S can do is wiggle, which I'm all for - but please! - Some things should remain sacred.

Yes, Joan of Arc got burned at the stake. And she was only 19. How in the world are they gonna get Britney to pull that off?

Was Joan of Arc crazy? And they want someone authenticly crazy to play the part? If crazy is what you want, Brit's your girl! I'm hoping that Joan wore a bra and Brit decides to get "in character" immediately. Her droopy boobs are a real eyesore.
