Los Angeles (E! Online) – Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster are giving it another shot.
E! News can confirm that the Hollywood heavyweights, who last costarred in a movie together 15 years ago in Maverick, are set to join forces again for The Beaver.
A quirky comedy drama along the lines of 2007's indie hit Lars and the Real Girl (or, depending on your humor, South Park), the Kyle Killen-penned script follows a down-and-out man (Gibson) who finds comfort wearing a beaver hand puppet. Foster will not only play his wife, but she'll also helm the film, marking her first directing effort since 1995's Home for the Holidays.
Hoping to erase his high-profile 2006 DUI arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic rant from the minds of moviegoers, not to mention distract himself from his pending divorce, Gibson next appears in the forthcoming thriller Edge of Darkness, his first headlining role since 2000's What Women Want.
The Beaver is tentatively slated to start lensing in New York in September.

The headlines, sometimes they just write themselves.

LOL!!!!!!
They made a great team with a lot of chemistry together. I even for a second believed that Jodie liked boys.
I hope “The Beaver” is just the working title.
He did a film with Goldie hawn too I think, he likes his blondes.. except for his latest gal who’s about to have his babe.
What every guy needs- a beaver hand puppet.
LOL. I had the same thought after watching “Maverick”.
Go Mel .... not perfect but better than most of Hollyweird.
He's gonna stick his hand in a beaver?
I think he has many times....oh man...sorry.
Wow, this sounds like a winner.
“(Gibson) who finds comfort wearing a beaver hand puppet.”
Why didn’t she get Pee Wee Herman?
Only Dave Barry could look at the old “Leave It To Beaver” show and wonder what it must have been like for Beaver Cleaver to go through boyhood being known as “The Beaver”.
;^)
So is this supposed to be a Mel Gibson thread or a Richard Gere thread?
“.....and Mel Gibson as, The Beaver”
Normally, men unite with women for The Beaver
