melgibbevIf this production photo with Mel Gibson talking to a beaver puppet seems out of place and rather silly, then you are in agreement with the bulk of the Internet posts.  However, I read the script review  on The Beaver. The story sounds bizarrely inventive and funny.   The movie has two very strong acts and a third that appears to fly by the seat of its pants but lands sanely to the ground.

The script will be directed by Jodie Foster who also stars in the movie as Gibson’s wife.

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster were great together in 1994’s Maverick and now they will be together, once more, in The Beaver.  Jodie Foster is also directing.

Gibson will play a disheartened man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet. Foster will play the role of the man’s wife while she also directs.

Production should start around September of this year.

No director is currently attached to the project, though that is sure to change in the coming months.
