Sorry about that, but we HAD to go for that obvious joke! Ha!
Even though it didn't get nominated for any Oscars, we've just learned that Jodie Foster has sent DVD screeners of her Mel Gibson-starring movie The Beaver to EVERY member of the Academy!
Here's what Jodie writes about it in a letter that will accompany the DVDs:
Is it just us, or was he looking really jittery and uncomfortable?
Aside from The Beaver and 2010's Edge of Darkness, Mel Gibson has been pretty much MIA for the past several years…except of course for his unfortunate personal life, that is.
Now, following The Beaver's screening at Cannes, Mel's finally decided to sit down in front of a camera to talk about his new film (above).
What do U think about Mel's interview? Are U curious to see his performance in The Beaver?
We weren't really feeling it, and apparently nobody else was feeling it either because thus far, The Beaver has only made $104,000 after three days of release in 22 theaters! Ouch!
Looks like Jodie isn't letting the film's lack of Box Office get to her though, because when she spoke at a recent Q&A screening of the film, she had the following to say:
"I don’t care if the movie doesn’t make any money."
Nice to hear that she's staying strong despite having the odds heavily against her with this one.
…Wonder how Mel's feeling about it…
What do U think about The Beaver's weak box office numbers? Do U think it deserves more love? Even less?
Jodi Foster and Mel Gibson's new movie, The Beaver is out in theaters this Friday, so naturally, the two are doing a lot of press to promote the film. And by the two of them, we mean Jodi is doing all the promoting while Mel deals with his personal life that has been in utter shambles for the better part of the last two years.
Still, though he's left her in the lurch on the promotional trail, Jodi has nothing by nice things to say about him. She insists that working with Mel on the movie was "amazing" and adds:
"I think it's no secret that he's really one of the most loved people in the business, professionally."
Yeah, tell that to the cast of The Hangover II. They might disagree with you.
Save your breath, Jo. His time has come and gone and will only come again AFTER he's settled things with the ex-lover. If he's after redemption, he'll have to wait a bit longer to get it.
