While Mel Gibson is attached to act in several films being sold in Cannes, he is getting closer to the next project he’ll direct, The Wild Bunch. Deadline hears that Michael Fassbender, Jamie Foxx and Peter Dinklage are in early talks to take part in the contemporized remake of the 1969 Sam Peckinpah Western about a group of aging outlaws looking for one last score.
Bryan Bagby wrote the script with Gibson, and Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. Warner Bros is financing and releasing. Deals aren’t done but sources said the film looks on course to begin production in the fall. The film will be Gibson’s first film as director since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge, which won two Oscars and received four other noms including Best Picture and Best Director.
>what about some irrelevant comments he made years ago
Who gives a flying fuck? You can say racist shit and still make amazing movies. Mel's not the first talented man to be unsaintly and he won't be the last.

As a Catholic, Mel's personal life saddens me. He put Christkino back on the menu though.
Who hype for the Resurrection movie?
Ethan Rogers
GIVE THE GODDAMN MAN A BREAK ALREADY. HE WAS DRUNK AND YELLED OUT WHAT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS.
FUCK YOU YOU FILTHY KIKES, FUCK YOU. YOU WON'T GET OUR SAVIOUR TWICE!
can't wait for cheap violence and gore to impress the mentally retarded kids
Camden Thomas
What happened to Destroyer?
Luke Garcia
he actually wrote the script, holy madman, i thought it was just a rumor.
Jason Johnson
What's with the mel gibson posts lately? Are they real? Is mel gibson really on the fast track right now or what? Not that I really care but was there an event in his life recently that really motivated him to keep making new projects? Who else in Hollywood is really pushing for character focused filmmaking thats not outright cape shit popcorn flicks
Jose Richardson
I like Foxx and Dinklage, but they don't belong in a such a movie. Mel should cast only white people in their late 40s-early 60s.
Hudson Clark
All catholics are faggots
Christian Brown
What character is Dinklage supposed to play? Fassbender and Foxx are good.
As if you'd get him confused with some other currently famous dwarf actor.
Lucas Young
Mel is Hollywood poison for being a Jew hating republican. I guarantee zero of these people sign and all Mel can get is Vince Vaughn, Bruce Willis, and a literally who for diversity's sake.
Ethan Price
either way that would be kino. Mel has it in the bag. Half of actors probably still look up to him regardless of his comments. They know it's true and so do you
