    Mel Gibson footed the bill himself.
    Mel Gibson shot the film without securing any outside funding or distribution.

    "This is a film about something that nobody wants to touch, shot in two dead languages [Aramaic and Latin]," said Gibson in a 2002 interview with the Hollywood Reporter. "In Los Angeles they think I am insane, and maybe I am."

    Gibson's own Icon Productions supplied the entire production budget of $30 million, with an extra $15 million for marketing after Gibson decided to distribute the film in the U.S. himself via Newmarket Films. And that 'insanity' certainly paid off, as the film went on to earn over $611 million worldwide — with Forbes speculating that Gibson himself pocketed up to 50% of that amount.
