A first look at Mel Gibson in Jodie Foster's 'The Beaver'

Ignore how close the title of this post came to being dirty and take a look at what Mel will be doing on the big screen in 2011...

Today's News: 'Moneyball' lives due to Aaron Sorkin, We will soon know who the 'Green Lantern' is, Mel Gibson teams up with Jodie Foster, and more...

In the news:

Aaron Sorkin has come on to rewrite 'Moneyball' and keep the movie from dying, even though it no longer has Steven Soderbergh directing it.

It's come down to an eclectic trio vying for the title role in the superhero flick 'Green Lantern'.

Mel Gibson is going to star in 'The Beaver', which Jodie Foster is directing and costarring in, off of a script that topped the most recent Black List.

Zooey Deschanel reunites with director David Gordon Green for the comedy 'Your Highness'.

It appears that 'The Hangover' was quite profitable for Todd Philips, in more ways than one.

-Thoughts?
