Mel Gibson Returns to Mexico
Mon, December 7, 2009 
Not exactly the guy you'd expect to announce a new movie. Nonetheless Fidel Herrera (the presiding governor of Veracruz, Mexico) confirmed to The Associated Press that Mel Gibson will shoot his next film there:
"Veracruz Gov. Fidel Herrera says part of the Ignacio Allende prison will be emptied in January 'because a grand production will be filmed there with our friend, the actor and producer Mel Gibson.'"
What that film is remains to be seen. No other details were provided and we can only guesstimate Mad Mel will be retuning to the director's chair. Not coincidentally, his last film the underrated Apocalypto was filmed in Veracruz.
Not that they're the most reliable of sources. But IMDB has two projects listed "In Development" in his filmography: Under and Alone and The Drowner. Again, no additional tid-bits were given. It's altogether possible that this new project is neither of those titles.
Say what you will about Gibson (Yes, he's a bigot), but South Park really hit the nail with the hammer on him. As crazy as he is with his views, the man knows how to tell a good story.
