Gibson to Panama? | Movie News Now that Mel Gibson is done exposing the Mayan civilization for the brutal, self-destructive cannibals that they were, he's apparently setting his sights on filming his next savage, non-English epic in Panama. He was recently in the country meeting with Panamanian filmmaker Jose Severino on a film that would center on Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa. He also apparently snuck in a little time to meet with a local singer and tourism spokesman who suggested he remake the 1950 noir film PANIC IN THE STREET, which was set in Panama. As long as he maintains his strict non-English policy and ensures there's enough brutal savagery and historical inaccuracies in the film to drive critics and experts absolutely crazy, we'll all be happy.

yawn

His days are over. He couldn't interest me in Passion nor Apocalypto. This sounds like another loser/snoozer. Too bad he doesn't get back in front of the camera where his entertainment value is higher.
