“Get the Gringo” Japanese Theatrical Poster
After a string of shoot ’em up titles such as Get The Gringo, Machete Kills, Expendables 3 and Blood Father, Mel Gibson (Edge of Darkness) might be out for more blood in Every Other Weekend, an action/adventure film by French filmmaker Benjamin Rocher (The Sweeney: Paris).
According to TTB, Every Other Weekend centers on a father who has his son convinced he’s a CIA spy with cool missions under his belt but he actually 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. The role Gibson is circling is the grandfather, who is actually a super spy.
The legendary actor/director is also heavily involved with Xiao Feng’s Chinese-language World War II film, titled The Bombing, which has him working behind the scenes as the film’s art director and executive producer. Additionally, extremely positive buzz is circulating for Gibson’s next directorial feature, Hacksaw Ridge, which hits theaters on November 4th 2016. His most recent film, Blood Father (which I actually loved, despite Zach’s recent review) hits Blu-ray & DVD on October 11, 2016.
We’ll keep you updated on this story as we hear more. Just for the heck of it, here’s the trailer for one of Mel’s most underrated movies:
Nice old school Anime reference. I think Mel has little bit more grey though. 🙂
