Remember last week when it seemed that there was trouble brewing on set of The Hangover 2 and all the fingers were pointed at Mel Gibson’s cameo role (speculated to boost his public opinion)
Well it seems Mel is out, and Liam Neeson is in.
Filmofilia quotes Director Todd Philips:
“I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov and his team. But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew”
Now of course with the lack of denial from Zack Galifianakis about the wild speculation that his “deep protest” in the film was about Gibson’s participation, and then we get a statement like “did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew” just adds fuel to that flame.
After the dust settles we might find out the truth behind it all, but it seems there is no love for Mel here.
Time will tell.
