I was interested to learn that Mel Gibson's new film Apocalypto will be performed in the maya language Yucatec. This has to be a first but it is a good idea as Mayan history contains some brilliant stories, impressive spectacle and loads of violence. In case you wanted to learn more about this language here are some resources:
A Brief Introduction to Yucatec Maya
Combined Dictionary–Concordance of the Yucatecan Mayan Language
an online dictionary of all Mayan languages
Story about the film
