The teaser trailer to director Mel Gibson's upcoming summer film Apocalypto contains a strange, out-of-place image. Just one minute, 46 seconds into the online video, a scruffy Mel Gibson is seen smiling next to one of the strange men in all white. You'll have to slo-mo frame-by-frame to see it as it's visible for a split second.
The image of a grinning Gibson definitely contrasts with the tense, primitive Aztec tone and setting of the trailer. Does it have a special meaning? Probably not. Most are already considering it an "Easter Egg" similar to the hidden bonus features found on some DVDs.
