Mel Gibson's SUMMER VACATION Isn't Like A Chevy Chase VACATION...
Merrick here...
Mel Gibson will star in HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION, based on his own screenplay.
"Summer Vacation" centers on a career criminal who gets caught by Mexican authorities and is sent to a drug- and crime-filled prison, where he learns how to survive with the help of a 9-year-old boy.
Gibson has written only two other screenplays in his career: "Apocalypto" and "The Passion of the Christ," both of which he directed.
...says Variety HERE.
Even though this sounds like a perfect project for Gibson to direct, VACATION will actually be directed by Adrian Grunberg - Mel's first AD on APOCALYPTO. It'll be produced by Stacy Perskie, his Second AD on that film.
HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION continues Gibson's MAD MAX-free renaissance. We'll soon see him in Martin Campbell's EDGE OF DARKNESS, a Jodie Foster directed film called THE BEAVER, and yesterday we learned that he'll be producing/directing a Leonardo DiCaprio Viking epic.

The public are more forgiving of eccentric directors than they are of eccentric lead actors. Apocalypto SHOULD have heralded a new era of near-wordless action movies, whose existence were an antidote to all the dialogue-heavy, plot-heavier action films rife in the market today...but it didn't.
Do a remake of The Naked Prey (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060736/), Mel! -
Soon it will be ARNOLD'S turn to come back to some epic projects!

Wait, he's in a prison, and he is helped by a 9 year old?
by ricarleite2
Do I smell a re-write here? Also: Mel Gibson has become AICN's new Spielberg! So many projects attached to him in so little time! Or will this involve vikings as well?
-
is welcome news. Dude's been out of the game for far too long and his last few projects have been amazing. Edge of Darkness looks all kinds of awesome. Directing, producing, and lead acting...my man.
-
...so all he has to do is show up on the set and know his lines...he doesn't have to do all the pre-production work a director does, and can work on his Viking pic.

but he's a great actor and director, color me excited for this
-
while I think The Last Temptation Of Christ is overall the better movie, The Passion of the Christ is a good movie as well, sadly many people just can't look past the controversy
-
Warren Miller flicks kick ass. Why hasn't there been an autobog flick based on his life and what he did for sports and doc films.
-
will come back to hollywodd. but I think his acting days are over. I see him taking on a role like mpaa.

INSERT JOKE HERE { }

That was his take. If they ever make another. I would hope that nostalgia for the older films has nothing to do with the new iteration of those characters, the films plot, or the soundtrack. Singers Supes proves that this was a wrong direction. Nostalgia pisses me off when it comes to new takes on old material. Make it your own. Nolan did it with batman and it kinda makes the other batmans looks stupid. We need a serious Superman. A superman who goes to hospital to visit terminal kids who he can't save. Imagine a scene with him taking a cancer kid for a flight to all the majestic wonders on the planet, a kid who will be dead with in a few days. Enough of the cute Superman shit. Put him in the real world- where a majority of people resent him for not being able to save everyone all the time.

No Max

Face the wheel.

If I didn't have a 9 years old boy as my bitch.
-
The gut might be a bit askew but at least he's not Roman Polanski. I'm actually half jewish/ half german. I always worshipped Mel growing up. For an eleven-year-old Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was the greatest thing ever. I was always a fan and even enjoyed Lethal Weapon 4(I acknowledge it is shit but it IS entertaining..at least for me). Then Mel pulled his Anti-Jew rant, just AFTER Passion of the Christ(Fuckin awful movie, beautifully shot). It threw me more than a little. However his subsequent fall showed he was a man in trouble. Then he made Apocalypto. A fantastic action movie that really blew me away. I guess it's weird but it's like Tom Cruise I guess. As long as his movies are kickass I'll still watch them. Fuck Polanski though..
-
...because contrary to popular opinion, there's a big difference between getting drunk and saying crazy shit...and drugging and ass raping a thirteen year old girl.
-
no Max is ok by me as long as he hasn't gone soft and it doesn't look so with Darkness, Beaver, Vikings and Vacation
-
before I begged him to get back to directing. I am down like a freshly-tipped cow! Ben Affleck needs to get back to directing, too.
-
When I was younger I watched Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby and Fearless Vampire Killers. Once I found out about him, I decided not to watch any more. The Pianist might be a fantastic film, but there are plenty of other great films that I still haven't seen yet...by non-peadophials. It's the same with Arthur C. Clarke.
-
Geez, these guys are busy. I wonder... Mel Gibson in STAR TREK... as his crazy uncle who's pissed about the car going into the quarry. 2 hrs of Kirk running from Gibson.
-
That "little girl" Polanski supposedly drugged and raped had already been passed around half of Hollywood, or so I heard!!
-
whatchoo talkin bout UGG?? P.S. are you related to GRUG?
-
Dude! Morgan is boning his grandaughter! and sorry no GRUG? I'm just an early Paleolithic man recently released from a glacier and told to use AICN?
-
mel, buddy, if you're going to be a bigot, stick to your guns. be 100% a-hole, don't get soft and roll out your jew buddies to seem like maybe you were mis-quoted. or misunderstood. hmmm, maybe roman polanski can get some 12 year old girls to produce and direct his way out of house arrest. stay goldberg ponyboy.
-
That's all I care about anymore.
-
fucking Gibson is back!!!!
-
That shit never crossed my mind before.... Now I will be forever sad at the thought of what could be.Imagine if Shane Black wrote a Mel Gibson directed Superman film. I might just fucking die.
-
to deny us one last stab at MAD MAX. It's almost like the minute George Miller announced the latest news and preparation about MAX, Mel was determined to fill up his schedule AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, just so he'd have an excuse NOT to do MAX. Not funny, Mel, and POTC was a sick, sick movie (not in a good way), but yeah, I still love ya...

-
Life imitating art; better late than never(IMO, it may be his best performance). Don't equate him with Polanski. He's a 72-year old man tapping a WOMAN who's been legal for nine years. More power to him if he wants--- and can get--- some fresh booty. Now the only thing he doesn't have is a Best Actor Oscar, and he may well get that very soon.

and word is the affair has been happening for YEARS.True not quite Polanski and I still think he got a bum rap on that one lol!
-
I wasn't really answering your question. I was just going off on my own tangent saying what it would be like. If anybody should direct a new Superman movie it should be somebody who is willing to fuck with it big time. Tim Burton's idea may have made all the fanboys bitch and moan, but like it or not, it sounded ALOT more interesting than what we got with Returns.

Much more excited about the Viking flick, though.

Meadowe, you psychotic trailer trash, you've been following me around on talkbacks for sometime now addressing posts to me with your psychotic winks but not using my name in that creepy fashion...I thought if I said nothing you'd go away...but now you're getting too creepy. So fuck off you fat four-eyed piece of shit.

Last I heard it was put into turn-around - gateway to the eternal torment known as "development hell".

She's been addressing comments like that to me going on a month now, and I said nothing hoping she'd get tired. Bitch is obsessed. And she described what she likes like...and basically she's a female version of Harry Knowles. Would you expect much less from a girl posting here?

"Dear Dr. Geek, for the past week and a half I have been overwhelmingly compelled to post impaling jokes on a Vlad The Impaler talkback...over twelve hundred jokes so far...is this...normal?

Based on her description of herself...Meadowe looks like this, but with glasses: http://tinyurl.com/ybg3qts

She's all yours!!! Keep in mind, that's not the actual Meadowe, but my approximation, so she may or may not be cute...but the attributes she does possess are the pasty white skin, morbid obesity, and the gaming gear. Have at 'er! I'd recommend double bagging it with bacteriocidal condoms and get a bovine flu vaccine beforehand.
-
And I was slightly amused. I didn't address it because a person who claims royalty for posting the first several times on a tb obviously isn't worth it. Then I saw you posting about your love for incest porn, and lockes calling you out for it, and I pointed out right after his post you probably loved camels since I posted a comment about beyonce loving camels and you seemed so insulted. And stalking you? Please I haven't addressed you again since now, your weak name isn't even worth typing, and that's why I pu a ;) because this is something for me to do when I'm bored. But you take it so seriously don't you? Even taking the time to be putting on something on tinyurl, I don't even know how to make paragraphs. awwwww and you took the time to read this whole post, because you're shaking in anticipation. You could create whatever you want in your infantile efforts to put me down, and I'll have the truth that you yourself stated; your love of pornography based on incest.
-
...I'ma back out of this TB... good luck, you crazy kids!
-
What I don't expect is for some psychotic girl to follow me around talkbacks continually posting comments addressed to me but too cowardly to use my name...and winking at me...you've done this several times since a month ago. Get this through your psychotic head, Meadowe...it's been a month, and you're still following me...and I've ignored the other times you addressed me, but now I said something because you're psycho and people should know it. As for why I told you to shut the fuck up that time wayyyyy back a month ago, it's because you're racist white trash and you had been trolling several talkbacks posting random racist comments which had nothing to do with the article. The article you mentioned was about Mad Max 4, and you were posting racist shit about Beyonce and Jay Z. What the fuck??? And then you posted racist shit about me...and now you're following me!!! Fuck off, Meadowe. Go stalk someone else you fat piece of shit.
-
..."I can't stop thinking about this dreamy boy in talkback. I tried to get his attention any way I could for months now, but he just kept ignoring me. Finally, in desperation, I accused him of being into incest porn. He immediately admitted that he IS into incest porn...he's just not into ME. I fear I may have lost him forever...is there hope?".Signed,Name Withheld
-
And I never addressed you except this tb and right after lockes called you out for your incest porn. Why don't you link through the times I insulted you and put that on tinyurl. And the above stands for you're a loser with nothing better to do with your life. And you actually were curious to know what all that crap meant and read through this post to try to ascertain what it means, when I just skim through yours, if that. I'm done, go find someone else to get your heart rate pumping when you type. Loser hahahahahahahah.

I think you nailed it. Is this what stalkers do? They stalk people and when those people react, the stalker accuses THAT person of being obsessed with them? Creeeeepy.

To my knowledge he always did both. And I agree Mel Gibson has a renaissance on his hands SEEMINGLY. Edge of Darkness LOOKS GREAT, the film with DiCaprio sounds like if executed right it will be good, even the Beaver has me interested, although all of them could be trash when it comes out.

"Would you expect much less from a girl posting here?" Not right. Not right at all.

As for Lockes calling me out and the whole incest porn thing....
by chakraborty
Here's the story:
Herc has been posting these articles that summarize TV ratings, and they tend to be populated by obsessed TV viewers, many of whom are borderline retarded. I don't watch any TV show regularly apart from Community, but I crashed one of their discussions where they were hotly debating Smallville, Fringe, or some other shit on TV. So I informed them of a lovely program they should download and see for themselves: Taboo 3 starring Kay Parker. Kay plays a middle aged woman who fucks her 18 year old nephew. So I described the scene in detail and encouraged them to all download it as it qualified as must-see. I was mostly just amusing myself, but what I wasn't prepared for was the level of anger from some of these talkbackers. Some of them were genuinely pissed off that I interrupted their TV discussion to talk about Kay Parker's incest film. Then, Meadowe arrives on scene to join in with the outrage and anger, as she had already been stalking me for about a week by then after I told her to shut the fuck up when she was trolling talkbacks with racist comments. And that's pretty much the gist of it. Lockes was one of the obsessed TV viewers...no surprise there. So really...it was a bunch of shut-in TV addicts with Asperber's syndrome with no sense of humor who take this shit way too seriously getting pissed off because I jokingly gave a graphic recollection of some incest porn. That sort of shit is funny to me. But what isn't funny, is to then be stalked by one of those shut-ins for 7 weeks (I checked)...that's creepy. -
...because I'm not a psycho stalker.
-
Yes, he said some bullshit about Jews. I found it abhorrent at the time, I continue to shake my head that someone with as much talent as Gibson clearly has can, also, be such a fuckwad. (Also, quick note, I found Apocalypso to be largely forgettable, which was deeply- DEEPLY- disappointing to me. I was looking forward to the idea of that film for a looooong time.HOWEVER, Gibson has chops. He has proven this before, and since his crowning achievement so far was Braveheart (IMO) I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this project. I want to see me some Norse-speaking, kick-ass Vikings. THAT sounds like fun. Come ON, you have to see that.Unless you're Jewish, in which case, I agree to disagree, and no hard feelings.
-
...an illustrative story.
We used to house and feed a freeloading fuzzy asshole of a cat. He was an asshole precisely because he could not distinguish between good attention and bad attention. You see? ALL attention was good attention.See where I'm going with this? -
...so I can tell the whole world how much I hate Meryl Streep.
-
hooray
-
So, let me get this straight. Meadowe is pissed at Chakra because he watches Morgan Freeman flicks and likes Polanski?
-
This TB, I mean. pass the popcorn.
-
no jodie foster beaver jokes yet? i cant believe it lol
-
Too obvious.... though I got a big chuckle out of that one--and a newfound respect for Jodie....

And she will get roughly half of what he's worth......REMEMBER, he said after his last movie that he was DONE with Hollywood......it took a divorce to change his mind!

Tough break.

So....Fury Road is a no-go? Dammit all to hell. At least there's hope for a cameo. This post...finished.
-
Waaaaaah! You're stalking me! Because your name is on the same talkback as mine waaaaaah!
-
..it was one of those. But Taboo 1 and 2 weren't that good. Taboo 3 elevated the series to a whole new level. Coincidentally, that scene you described happens in Taboo 3, but it's Kay's friend doing it to her nephew.
-
And then Jesiah goes back to talking about me and doesn't say a word about Mel or the article. What a fucking moron.
-
You're not going to be able to post the first several times on another talkback with your obsession with Meadowe.
-
...is absolutely part of why Mel is going to succeed with the Viking flick. Well, that and the fact that he made half a billion from Passion and can now finance his own films, but still. Whether or not he'll be accepted as an actor remains to be seen. It's obvious that he (with the help of his agents, I'm sure) is taking a few different kind of roles to remind the film going audience that he CAN act. I'm not sure that returning as Max wouldn't have been the best way to endear himself to the audience, though. But hey, maybe he didn't say no. *shrug* I don't know for sure. Anybody remember if he was ever asked and turned it down?
-
...The Village still sucks! lol Nah, just tryin' to lightheartedly change up the subject. Y'all get too tense about this mess. Characters on a screen posted in anonymity are really not important to your overall well being.
-
I'm not arguing with you, I just get a a 60/40 vibe in favor of the film, but to be honest the whole no English stops me from checking it out. At least with Passion of the Christ despit it being entirely in Aramaic I had a religious reason for interest in the film. if Mel plays his cards right he can be akin to Clint Eastwood as far as being a film badass and than seguing into an acclaimed director.
-
Just personal taste, I suppose. For me, I could never get into Passion. I saw it in the theater the first week, but people were freaking out (unnecessarily), so I missed a bunch of things. I purchased it (still own it) to try and make a proper decision, but just can't get into it. Too heavy handed for me. Apocalypto, as we've discussed in a few other talkbacks recently, was largely overlooked due to the controversy surrounding Mel at the time. But yes, I think it rules to the point of approaching brilliance. The story, admittedly, is not a new one. It's been told many different ways in many different genres. But placing it in Mayan South America, using local mostly non-actors, shooting digitally and going ultra-violent, well, yeah, I totally dig it! It caught me off guard how MUCH I dig it. I still haven't purchased it, but every time it's on cable I watch it. Probably watched it in it's entirety more than ten times already. For my tastes (Conan The Barbarian and Braveheart are two of my all-time favorites), Apocalypto rules. I agree that Braveheart is still Mel's best, though. But the combination of the three; Braveheart, Passion and Apocalypto, lead me to believe that he could most certainly make a kick ass viking flick. With Norse dialogue, period correct costuming and beautiful locations. The only thing going against it is that water films, for many reasons, often go over budget and/or fail for one reason or another. Not even sure they're quantifiable. Maybe people just don't want to watch ships on the ocean for long periods of time. Although Titanic and the JD Pirates films would lead me to believe otherwise.
-
That way I won't have to be in the theater with fucking morons like Jesiah who have trouble reading subtitles. What's up, Jaka. No hard feelings about you not liking the Village. I never did. I don't take talkbacks seriously...that's why it's a bit off-putting when I'm followed in talkbacks for long periods of time by someone continually directing comments to me based on something I said a long time ago, so I thought I'd say something and make a spectacle of it.
-
I like passion of the Christ, but I didn't go gaga for it either. I felt like I was at summer camp saying goodbye to the campers; wondering why everyone's so emotional about it and I wasn't. As for Apocalypto, I remember when it first came out a coworker was really hyping it up as an epic film. Also, without giving too much away, I always heard it was ultra violet, but are there any (hope this doesn't sound racist) scalpings in it? Scalpings always freak me out; even though technically I've only seen one (the female pimp in saw 4) I guess because I'm concerned with my own hairline seeing people lose their hair on film is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Also, I agree with the whole water epic statement as far as almost always going overbudget. I have to admit I liked waterworld, the first two pirates films, and titanic in small, quick doses (not much replay value for me). But back to Mel, I trust him; if there's anyone that can make a 9 year old in jail work, he'd be one of them.

Chakra, for sure no hard feelings. Nothing that goes on hear at AICN has any real affect on my life. Sometimes we just have to go with the ol' agreeing to disagree. (extends olive branch)Jes, regarding the nine year old in jail thing. I wonder if the nine year old is really IN jail, or just associated with the jail in some way, or can just reach Mel through a bared window or something? I mean, I guess there could be a nine year old in a Mexican prison at some point in the past. But probably not NOW. lol I guess I don't really know. Anyway, I didn't actually take the nine year old as LITERALLY being IN the prison. Just that he was somehow helping Mel get through his time there.

Then I won't be in the same theatre as someone beating off to their fucking their mother, aunt or any kind of family member fantasy.

Is this the Christian spirit? The 3 hours you spent watching Passion of the Christ really has had a wonderful benefit on you...glad that a god-fearing Christian like yourself was able to gain something from that powerful film.

The sins of the father will be visited upon the son kind of thing? I don't think we've been told what time this movie takes place, so maybe earlier 20th century when keeping a 9 year old in jail can be more localized instead of broadly known?

Because Jaka, if what you're suggesting is true, I'd like to know the motivation of a kid helping out Mel, because no matter what time or era anyone, regardless of age passing stuff into a prison from the outside is not going to sit well with the authorities.

Has anyone ever seen Kay Parker? That chick is hot! Stop acting like you've never watched porn. I myself have gone through half a box of Kleenex watching Kay Parker lezzing it up with some other busty maiden that apparently was on Star Trek: TOS. Those were in the halycon Limewire days, way before this whole torrent thing that I can't figure out.

Uh....judging from his previous screenplays....Mel's not really a winter person.
