Mel Gibson To Take A Summer Vacation


Mel Gibson To Take A Summer Vacation

Mel Gibson has set up his next starring vehicle, which reassembles the key members of his "Apocalypto" team.

Gibson will topline the action drama "How I Spent My Summer Vacation," based on a screenplay he penned. News surfaced a few days after Gibson committed to directing Leonardo DiCaprio in a pic about Viking culture.

"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. Though "Summer Vacation" would seem a natural fit for Gibson to helm, he is passing the torch to his protege Adrian Grunberg, who was first a.d. on "Apocalypto." Stacy Perskie, who was second a.d. on the Mayan thriller, will produce "Summer Vacation."

Gibson’s Icon Prods., which financed "Apocalypto," is putting up the coin for "Summer Vacation." Gibson has been quietly scouting locations south of the border for nearly a year and will start shooting the pic in March in San Diego and Mexico’s Veracruz state, which provided the backdrop for "Apocalypto."

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
