Watch Mel Gibson’s “The Beaver” HD Trailer – Can Mel Redeem Himself?

The name Mel Gibson leaves a pretty bad taste in your mouth about now. Over the past several years, the guy has just seemed to have lost it. He goes on drunken anti-semitic rants, racist tirades – and just seems to be spouting out the most hateful crap you have ever heard.

Well, now Gibson has a new movie coming out. And it is actually getting some pretty good praise. The film is titled “The Beaver,” and is directed by Gibson’s long-time friend Jodie Foster. Will this be enough to dig the famous actor out of the hole he dug himself? Personally, I feel pretty sorry for the other actors in the film; Anton Yelchin and Jodie Foster are going to feel the backlash as well if it isn’t a success. Just being guilty by association may be enough to do some damage. But at the end of the day, it’s a gig.

Here is the synopsis:

Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can’t seem to get himself back on track… until a beaver hand puppet enters his life.

  • This almost looks too stupid to be sweet. But then again, the trailer showcases the movie as something a bit more "normal" than I originally expected.
