"The Beaver". Spring 2010.

Mel's next film is How I Spent My Summer Vacation and co-star Scott Cohen had this to say about working with Gibson (BlogTalkRadio.com):

He's quieted down... I found Mel to be really giving and really generous. When I first met him his energy was so intense. What comes out of his eyes is so magnetic and so fierce, you're like, 'Oh my God!

But he was nice, just joking around. He gave the director (Adrian Grunberg) an opportunity to direct his first movie, and Mel was there all the time kind of helping him with shots. I found him to be incredibly educating.

Don't be too hard on Mel...I mean, the Beaver. Info and trailer here.
