It doesn't say it's a done deal. I doubt Mel's company ever seriously considered this, let alone doing it.

No kidding.

In my limited connection with trying to get a movie made in Hollywood, and I know there are others here with much more experience...names are dropped in order to get more funding. Nothing is ever definite until all the i's are dotted, and even then...the movie business is the single most slimy business I've ever been a party to.

No, Icon bought the rights to Moore's proposed documentary for eight figures in cash and backend profits.

IMO, any celluloid shot will never see the light of day. Gibson now "owns" this story and has the right to sit on everything Moore does regarding it.

It happens a lot in Hollywood. The same people behind the facts in this story control what's put on the screen. They always have. Left and right skirmishes occur, but ultimately, we see what they want us to see.

In this case, fine by me.

I hate to say it, but it wouldn't surprise me if Mel is financing this film. He is a conservative, but of the Pat Buchanan/Lew Rockwell variety. A friend of mine worked with him on some traditional Catholic projects, and Mel does believe in conspiracy theories.

I think Mel needs to realize that Moore is a pro-abortion far left lunatic who doesn't share his values. It could be disastrous for his career if he has anything to do with this film. Even many of his supporters who are standing by him because of his film about Our Lord might abandon him in droves if he is involved with that fat POS.
