NEWS ON THE HANNIBAL MOVIE:
"Vin Diesel has hired the expert who translated "The Passion of the Christ" into Aramaic for Mel Gibson for his biopic project about the life of Carthagian general Hannibal. The thesp is apparently attempting to work out a script in Greek, Latin and Punic for the film and is currently scouting locations on the Iberian Peninsula..."
This is a Dark Horizons excerpt from a Variety article. You can access the latter here, but it is subscription only (and I don't subscribe).

Father William Fulco, a professor at Loyal Marymount University, did the Aramaic translations for Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, and presumably he is the expert mentioned here.
