After lying low for a few years, suddenly Mel Gibson is the busiest actor/director this side of Shutters on the Beach. Mel the Director's got plans to stuff Leonardo DiCaprio in a Viking's helmet, while Mel the Actor is busy with upcoming projects The Beaver and Edge of Darkness, but today a brand-new Mel Gibson mystery project was officially announced on Production Weekly's Twitter. What is it?
Mel Gibson will star in How I Spent My Summer Vacation, due to begin filming early March in Veracruz, Mexico, Adrian Grunberg will direct.
Looks like we've got a title for the prison movie that Veracruz's governor was touting a while back. Grunberg was first AD on both Edge of Darkness and Apocalypto, so this gig's a promotion for him. Nice work, Adrian! Bryan Michael Stoller is so jealous right now.
