Jodie Foster is paying the bill for Mel Gibson’s public antics and her film about a man who has a debilitating mental disorder and has to speak through a beaver puppet to interact with people may never see the big screen here in North America.
But thankfully for those in the UK, a wide theatrical release date has been set. February 11th, 2011.
Digital Spy noticed that the film has been given a release date in the U.K., and it’s surprisingly soon: it will open on February 11th, against Black Swan, Just Go With It, No Strings Attached, and Yogi Bear. It’s being distributed by Icon, the British/Australian distributor founded and owned by Gibson himself—it obviously helps if the disgraced star of your latest movie also owns the company releasing it
Perhaps if it does well over there, and the dust has settled without further incident from Mr.Gibson, it could find a theatrical release here as well. I really hope so.
Despite the bile surrounding Gibson’s personal life, I really just want to see him get back to doing what he does best. No, not murdering his public profile – making movies.
