While I adore Jodie Foster, and her prior directorial efforts, Little Man Tate and Home for the Holidays, are fantastic films about family and relationships, nothing but a desire for irony would make me watch a Jodie-helmed film in which she stars as a woman married to a character played by Mel Gibson, who's obsessed with a BEAVER puppet. That is just rich. I mean, Tony and Emmy winner Cherry Jones is even signed on for this fuckery!
Anyway, the trailer is out for Jodie's film, which looks somewhat passable had she cast any other once-upon-an-action-hero than the anti semetic, anti-woman crazy Mel, who is in the midst of an ugly divorce from the mother of his infant.
The future of the film, which centers on a depressed man who finds solace in a beaver puppet, was in doubt after Gibson was caught verbally abusing his ex-wife and spouting racist epithets (he was previously caught espousing anti-Semitic and homophobic views as well). The Hollywood Reporter says Summit Entertainment is now gearing up for a spring release on the movie.
