No!!!!! Not another Gibson association with a period drama!

Makes me speculate about future movies of Mel Gibson...

2009 - Mel Gibson recreates Churchill's book "the River War" in the Sudan, films in current day Sudan, and winds up embroiled in the troubles there - film at 11.

2011 - Mel Gibson, in association with the Chinese Academy of Film, creates a four hour-long motion picture on the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China, with all dialogue in ancient Chinese (to the best ability of scholars hired to create this) and no subtitles for the domestic Chinese version. Chinese audiences are at a loss.

2013 - Mel Gibson, in a made for TV movie, recreates the story of Samson, with or without Delilah, with special attention to slaying thousands with the jawbone of an ass (ox?) and eye gougings.

2017 - Mel Gibson, in a pay-for-internet-distribution only-series, creates his own interpretation of a two-part drama, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" followed up by "How the Neocons Took Over America" with every character in the movie created by CGI animation except for Jimmy Carter, who plays himself, and Mel Gibson, who narrates.

Have you noticed how his films are become darker and darker in regard to violence. I know the subject material calls for it, but I believe he is going into the abyss.
