Leo the ladyboy quite because of recent anti-Mel attacks,

'Not a chance,' a source close to DiCaprio reportedly says.

As the controversy over Mel Gibson's rage-fueled rant tapes and domestic violence probe continue to unfold, the site that has leaked those shocking recordings, RadarOnline.com reported that one of the "Lethal Weapon" actor's upcoming projects has lost its leading man.
"Inception" star Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly withdrawn from a planned movie chronicling the exploits of Viking warriors that Gibson was slated to direct.
"Not a chance," said an unnamed source close to DiCaprio.

it could be a cool film if Mel does it,
but it may not be pro-Norsemen,
and it really may be the last movie he directs after all..


Quote:
LOS ANGELES - Last fall, Leonardo DiCaprio and Mel Gibson shook hands for the first time and then sat down for an intense five-hour meeting to discuss a topic of mutual passion: making an epic Viking film.

No Hollywood project is a slam dunk, especially a high-priced period piece, but if the ramping plan to create a maritime epic does work out, the meeting at the Santa Monica offices of Gibson's company, Icon Productions, will be remembered as the day the Vikings set sail again in cinema.

"It was the first movie I ever thought about making," Gibson said.
"I saw it in my mind back when I was teenager. Seriously, it's the first movie I wanted to make. And I think it will be the last film I direct.
It's the thing I have been going toward, in a way, since I was young,
and I think when it's done I may be finished."

"We're going hammer and tongs on the script right now," Gibson said.
"When I was 16, learning about the history of the English language, I became fascinated with Vikings.
And I imagined what they would sound like, how would they talk and that's what I will be going for in this film. It's a challenge, though.
There's never been a good Viking film, not that I've seen.
I think I have found the right way to get into it, though,
but I don't want to say too much.
The real problem is making those guys sympathetic.
They were monsters."

Neither Gibson nor King would discuss the name or back story of the central character.

"We all knew we wanted to do it.
It was just a matter of finding what the story would be, who our Viking was," King said.
"There's not many sympathetic Vikings out there.
And you have to find something of sympathy in one of them
or what else is there to show,
other than blood and guts and rape and pillaging?"

Poll: Mel Gibson Movies Unscarred By Scandal - 60 Minutes - CBS News

I read a couple of weeks ago that he's going back to Australia. What do these Jews do to people that wears them out so much? I hope and pray Mel will make movies again once he's had a rest.

CBS/VF said this: "It’s the film, not the man, the vast majority of Americans (76 percent) seemed to be saying when they picked "No, no effect" in answering the question, "Are you now less likely to go see a Mel Gibson movie as a result of the recent scandal?" Men at 80 percent and women at 72 percent were almost in total agreement on that one, with 20 percent overall answering they would be "less likely" to view his films."

The Mass(Jew) Media have been working overtime to portray Mel Gibson as Evil, Anti-Semitic, Racist! I think the correct interpretation of this poll is that 76% of the poll takers, in their heart of hearts, consider themselves to be Anti-Semitic, Racist's, and so are willing to forgive Mel Gibson's transgressions because they think he is an Anti-Semitic, Racist also!!

Iconoclast

I'm not as optimistic as you IC. I think a lot of people don't have many principles at all, one way or another but are just drones that like a good movie, regardless of who makes it.

I like your opinion better though.

I just hope he didn't hit that woman. A man (a woman too) has to learn to control himself. He seems out of control with the way he comports himself and with his drinking. I can't condone that sort of behavior...it's very harmful to all of us.

I do pray for his health and healing though. I'm sure he's had to deal with some serious persecution over the years and only the very strongest can survive that with their mental health completely intact.

Yeah, I'm hoping also that he will make a movie because I love watching him anytime. I will include him in my prayers.

When thinking about European history the stories of the Vikings have always been among the most fascinating to me.
Needless to say, this is one movie that we should all make plans to go see.

He may have faced criticism for his interpretation of William Wallace’s battle for Scottish independence in Braveheart, but that hasn’t deterred Mel Gibson from producing another history-based movie.

This time the actor is planning to turn his directorial skills towards the Viking invasion of England and Scotland in the ninth century.

Gibson, 54, will follow a similar route to his previous films The Passion Of The Christ and Apocalypto by filming all of the scenes using Old Norse language, with English subtitles.
The forthcoming movie is as-of-yet untitled, but Gibson plans a historically accurate and violent recreation of the Viking terror that engulfed Scotland and England over a thousand years ago.

Gibson said: ‘I think it’s going to be [in] English – the English that would have been spoken back then – and Old Norse. Whatever the ninth century had to offer. I’m going to give you real.

‘The very first idea I ever had about making a film was when I was 16 years old and I wanted to make a Viking movie.
‘And I wanted to make it in Old Norse, which I was studying at the time. That was the first big, epic, wacky idea I ever had.’
And, as with The Passion of the Christ, he said he plans to include brutally violent scenes for added realism.
He revealed: ‘I want a Viking to scare you. I don’t want a Viking to say, “I’m going to die with a sword in my hand.”
‘I want to see somebody who I have never seen before speaking low, guttural German who scares the living – out of me coming up to my house.’

Last year the actor, who girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to the couple’s first daughter Lucia in October last year, defended Braveheart against criticism about its historical inaccuracies.

He said: ‘Some people wanted me to feel guilty about that. You know, “you have messed up history”.

‘There is very little history about the man. There is some, but you have to make up the bits in between because there wasn’t somebody following him around writing. He did exist and he did have an impact.’

The script is being developed by William Monahan, who wrote the screenplay for the Oscar-winning crime drama The Departed and work is expected to begin in the autumn.
Producer Graham King said: ‘This will be an awe-inspiring story.’

Keep in mind that Mel Gibson’s father, Hutton, is a good friend of ours who has twice appeared on The Political Cesspool Radio Program
