Just a few months ago, Gibson was dead in the water; William Morris Endeavour, a Hollywood talent agency, had turned it's back on the former Mad Max star after a series of allegations culminated in shocking evidence of his wrong-doing in a court case with a former lover. Nobody in Hollywood wants to be attached to anybody accused of anti-semitism, chauvinism and domestic violence...
According to the internet however, Gibson has bagged a role in The Hangover; a move that he hopes may re-start his career. Reports suggest that Gibson was not the only star approached for the film; " We approached Tiger Woods for the second one... to help him get his image back", Director Todd Phillips stated.
The film sees the original leads, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha and Ken Jeong all returning, and will be released next year.
Will it be the return of Mel Gibson? Probably not but when you've not just burned the bridge; you've covered it with oil from stolen containers, laced it with illegal conflict diamonds and then set it on fire with a North Korean flame thrower sponsored by the state Nuclear programme*; then I would suggest that he may as well just give it a go...
*may be an exaggeration....
