Mel Gibson in Jodie Foster's "Beaver"

Posted: July 10th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Mel Gibson in Jodie Fosters BeaverSubmit Comment
The headline is completely unintentional, but accurate. Mel Gibson is currently in-talks to star in "The Beaver," which is written by Kyle Kinnen and has topped the Blacklist in December. Jodie Foster is set to direct.

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." Producers are pushing for a September start date in New York.

Pic brings Foster back to feature directing for the third time, after 1991's "Little Man Tate" and 1995's "Home for the Holidays."

"Mel Gibson in Jodie Foster's "Beaver""

The title is funnier than anything I can think of. Good one, Alex. LMAO!

Rather have Mel direct. It's something he does well, along with getting drunk and ranting antisemitic remarks.

I love Mel Gibson, the anti-semetic remarks I could live without. This guy has done it all, drama, comedy, action, and directed. In all aspects of film he has excelled. The guy is legendary mate, legendary.

How about Maverick 2, Im still pissed that it wasnt even nominated. The movie was legendary mate, legendary.

I'm a little confused here. Does Mel get to smash some poor guy's head in a door with the hand puppet? At some point in the film does he get to yell GIVE ME BACK MY PUPPET!!! If not, why is he in this movie?

I didn't think she allowed men in there?
Ranger writes:
on July 10th, 2009 at 2:24:38 PM

Well, I know Rosie O'Donnell doesn't. But that's because she's ugly, and no men WOULD fuck her. But Jod... I'd hot glue her to the sheets.

That would be a Jeaver, then.

there is no amount of money that could even get me near that mean thing called jodi's beaver. im not afraid of the dark but that thing would scare the shit out of me.
Ranger writes:
on July 10th, 2009 at 7:58:06 PM

Yeah... I think TMZ (or some such show) had video or a pic of her walking down the street in jeans with her thong way up. That's not a very feminine ass on that lady. Good for us she licks rug.
