Mel Gibson's back

Mel's bells, Gibbo's back

Mel Gibson is to star in his first film for six years and the first since his ‘Sugar T*ts’ controversial drink-driving arrest in 2006.

The Mad Max star is to line up to play a police detective investigating the death of his daughter in Edge of Darkness, which was originally a BBC drama from 1985.

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell will helm the picture developed from a script prepared by The Departed’s William Monahan.

Gibson has kept a low profile ever since his arrest for drink driving. Most damaging for the star was his babbled anti-Semitic abuse to police officers, the low-light of which was, ‘the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world’.

He also admired a female police officers saccharin chest by calling her sugar tits. Nice.

Many Hollywood commentators thought his career was over as ABC withdrew involvement on a miniseries his production company was involved in set during the Holocaust and one of LaLa Land’s most powerful names was frozen out.

He apologised for the comments, saying they were ’blurted out in a moment of insanity’. But now he’s back.

Alcohol free and a lot meeker, but he’s back.
