It may be harder to accept Mel Gibson in a comedy after all that's gone on in his professional and personal life since he did . For good or ill, we take him and his work/pronouncements more seriously these days. Mel the Joker seems long gone.
And repeated evidence of anti-Semitism, an almost masochistic yen for violence and violent corners of stories has tarnished the Aussie's rep.
But with Mel as the card-sharp con-man of the Old West. It could be fun.
It could be that this was just a reporter's leading question about a favorite movie of the reporter's (it happens).
And it could be too late already. But we'll see.
