Mel Gibson to Star in Jodie Foster's Beaver Film

Posted on July 10, 2009

Variety reports that Mel Gibson is going to star in a film called The Beaver. Jodie Foster will co-star and direct the movie that is about a depressed man (Mel Gibson) who cheers himself up by wearing a beaver hand-puppet.

The script, written by Kyle Killen, topped the Blacklist in December.
Gibson will play a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet. On top of helming, Foster will play the role of the man's wife.
Foster boarded the project and brought it to Gibson, with whom she co-starred in 1994's "Maverick."

Some are excited by this film but it may not be the best idea. It would be more exciting to see Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson do another Maverick movie than to watch a depressed Mel Gibson wearing a hand puppet. Maybe it will be more interesting than it sounds.
