Jodie Foster's Beaver Pushed Back
coming soon.net ^ | February 7, 2011 | Summit Entertainment

Posted on 02/09/2011 6:09:13 AM PST by Hillarys Gate Cult

Summit Entertainment has moved back the release of director Jodie Foster's The Beaver from March 23 to May 6. The dramedy will receive a limited release on that date before expanding wide on May 20.

The Beaver is an emotional story about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and re-start his life.

Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black (Mel Gibson) was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can't seem to get himself back on track... until a beaver hand puppet enters his life.

Foster, Anton Yelchin, Jennifer Lawrence and Cherry Jones co-star.

If the movie is that bad, the audience will pelt her.

Sticking a hand in a beaver will help most guys get back on track.

Hey, didn’t Mel also play with Jodie’s beaver in “Maverick”?

Mel Gibson said he was very excited to be in Jodi Foster’s Beaver.

But Jodi said his role wasn’t nearly as big as he told everyone it was. Shooting was over quickly.

No way! Cherry Jones is in Jody Foster's Beaver?

Seems more likely that she'd be in there than Mel Gibson ....

I wonder if the Beaver will have a big opening or small opening at the box office?

Good questions. Depends on how big of a crowd it can pull in once it opens.

For example, Snatch had a limited release in late 2000, but then went on to open big in 2001, eventually earning over $80 million dollars world wide.
