From the Department of Things Being As They Were: Mel Gibson has rejected the musical score written by Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance for his new Jesus-and-the-Jews film The Passion of the Christ. Instead, he will be using a score written by John Debney, who has a long history with deity movies: he wrote the music for Bruce Almighty, as well as, um, Elf. Yes sir, when you say "John Debney," you think dignified and tragic, that's for damn sure.
