Mel Gibson signs for another film???

Post by FordMercury »



According to MovieHole.net:


"
[div]Two if by Sea

[/div]












[div]Posted on Friday Nov 28, 2003.[/div]




Not content with fellow Aussie Russell Crowe currently owing the seas with "Master and commander", Mel Gibson's also out to play sea captain too, says a scooper for http://www.darkhorizons.com/Dark Horizons. "A certain studio with a pointy symbol is supposedly on the cusp of announcing their intentions to produce a film inspired by the book "The Sea of Glory" [by Ken Wales and David Poling] about the famed Four Chaplins (a father, a reverend, a pastor and a rabbi) who went down as the ship sank on February 3rd, 1943 as many survivors looked on as the water enveloped the Chaplin's bodies. In order to recreate these events the studio needs a ship that resembles the Dorchester where the events of the Four Chaplins took place so many years ago. The plan is to raise the S.S. Catalina which sank in 1998 and restore it and use it as the Dorchester. Ed Zwick is allegedly looking to helm the feature for Paramount and none other than Mel Gibson is also believed to be interested in participating in some manner as well. The rumblings are Gibson may step aboard as an executive producer". Ahoy maties, seems a new trend is on the rise..."


I seriously hope that this wont affect the production of Fury Road or i wll kill this guy personally.....Image

He's never going to have time for Fury Road if he keeps signing on to different stuff, this is ridiculous.


If I were an actor and had an iconic role such as Max, I would keep my calendar and mind completely clear in order to play him again after close to twenty years.


When he starts doing interviews for The Passion of Christ, somebody better have the sense to ask him about Fury Road and hopefully he won't give one of those cryptic answers concerning it.

Oh, I have absolutely no problem with him taking his time on a film he's directed and I will see The Passion of Christ as soon as I can after it opens. I bet it's an excellent movie.


But what sucks is that he keeps agreeing to executive produce and possibly star in new films, which keeps threatening Fury Road from being made. I just wish he would say something about Fury Road. It was such a big deal when the film was greenlit, yet he hasn't really said anything about it since then and it'll be a year on the 10th of this month.

Just got an answer from Garth Franklin from Darkhorizons.com:
[div]Joao,[/font][/div]

[div]Mad Max 4 if it goes ahead (which now seems unlikely) won't be for at least a year yet, Mel's signing to 'Sea' won't conflict because of that.[/font][/div]
