Hansen, Assistant Professor at Idaho State University and a specialist on Mayan culture, as a consultant to ensure a level of historical accuracy. Though the film exercises some dramatic license, Gibson hired Dr. Gibson was a stickler for authentic language.Īll of the dialogue is in the Yucatec Maya language. The director humorously-and morbidly-inserted a single frame of a man dressed as Waldo from Where’s Waldo into the scene where Jaguar Paw stumbles into a pile of dead bodies after the ritual sacrifice scene. The first teaser trailer for Apocalypto, made before principal photography of the movie itself, includes a hidden single-frame image of a heavily bearded Gibson standing next to a group of Mayan actors with a cigarette in his mouth. As these stories show, making Mel Gibson’s sprawling Mayan adventure film was an epic journey in its own right.
