Mel Gibson To Star In New Movie

 
Mel Gibson’s comeback gathers pace now that report has it that the actor-director has entered negotiations to headline Every Other Weekend, a CIA spy thriller that will place Gibson in the boots of a veteran agent.
French filmmaker Benjamin Rocher is the director attached at the helm, enlisting producing support from Clement Miserez, Jean-Charles Levy and Peter Safran

As for story underpinning Rocher’s actioner, Every Other Weekend follows a father who has his son convinced he’s a CIA spy, but in actuality he works in the agency’s IT department. However, on a father-son trip in Paris, the two find themselves in a life-threatening adventure in which secrets are spilled. It’s understood Gibson is circling the role of the Grandfather in the French thriller, the overriding patriarch of the family who is harboring a secret or three of his own. Brandon and Curtis Birtell wrote the original script, before Davis Moreau and Tad Safran were brought aboard to fine-tune.

At least based on that fleeting pitch, Rocher’s international thrill ride isn’t likely to revolutionize the genre anytime soon. What it does offer, though, is another chance for Mel Gibson to bolster his presence in the industry and, one would hope, continue to course-correct his public image.

Every Other Weekend is expected to enter production before the year’s end in the French capital. A 2017 theatrical release appears to be the target.
