Disney Will Distribute Gibson’s Film
Despite his recent troubles and controversy, Disney has confirmed it will distribute Mel Gibson’s newest film, “Apocolypto,” Reuters reports.
Gibson’s troubles began when he was arrested for driving under the influence on July 27. He reportedly made sexiest comments about a female officer, and anti-Semitic remarks.
Since the events, actors in Hollywood are divided on how they feel about the actor. Some, like Barbara Walters, have said publicly they will not see another Gibson film. Others, like Patrick Swayze, have come to the defense of the actor.
Despite the fact the Disney will still distribute the film, the company has decided not to do a television movie about the Holocaust with Gibson’s Icon Productions company.
