The 'Edge of Darkness' star heads south of the border for for the prison thriller 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation,' his first directorial project since 2006's 'Apocalypto.'
Mel Gibson's new movie 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation' is already causing controversy in Mexico -- relatives of inmates at a Veracruz jail have blasted plans to move prisoners to make way for the film shoot.
Hollywood's advance radar system fizzled this weekend as "15 Minutes" failed to oust "The Mexican" from first place. Although insiders were right in predicting a sharp second week drop for DreamWorks' R-rated drama "The Mexican," they were wrong about it losing top honors. "Mexican" held on to first place with a less sexy estimated $12.13 million (-40%) at 2,959 theaters (+8 theaters; $4,100 per theater). Its cume is approximately $38.3 million.

"It's one of the bigger March openings. Last year, on March 17, 'Erin Brockovich' did $28.1 million." "It
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 2, 2000 -- Never underestimate Julia Roberts' clout. Daily Variety reports that the actress is showing interest in the action-comedy "The Mexican" and is considering taking the female lead. The pretty woman's possible involvement in the $10 million dollar project is indelibly breathing renewed life into the formerly lackluster project, which saw the joint departure of "Fight Club" helmer David Fincher and megastar Brad Pitt early in its pre-production phrase. The effect of Robert's decision goes far beyond than just one star billing for the flick. Variety reports that many Hollywood insiders predict that Roberts' move might very well reignite Pitt's interest in recommitting to the male lead. The flick is about a seasoned criminal who hunts down a legendary cursed pistol in Mexico while being pressured to change his evil ways by his girl
