In Islam, we are absolutely not allowed to even draw pictures of prophets (pbut), let alone stick a person acting as them (pbut).
But are allowed to narrate for them (pbut), thats how its done in movies about prophet Muhammad SAW.
Theres so much wisdom for this. One is to avoid shirk. Surely you have heard/seen how people worship religious characters.
Same with Eesa (pbuh) of nazareth. After his departure, the greek especially started to make statues of him and sooner turned into worship of him as god.

Unless mel gibson already lived during 0-33 ad in palestine, theres absolutely no way you can check for accuracy.
