Since Mel Gibson is claiming to have something to do with "The Maccabees" screenplay I adapted, I started looking for ways to protect it. I did not give copies of "The Maccabees" screenplay to Mel Gibson. The writers want Spielberg on it. I'm the one who adapted it to screenplay in perfect English, and I worked on it for almost four years. Thank you so much for having this.
