Thanks to the success of the "Lethal Weapon" star's directorial pet project, "The Passion of the Christ," editors at "Premiere" magazine have named Gibson the 10th most powerful person in the movie biz.

An assortment of studio heads and moguls rank ahead of Gibson, including Steven Spielberg (No. 2) and Peter Jackson (No. 6), but no other star beats him in the Hollywood power game.
