Mel Gibon to play with Jodie Foster's 'Beaver'

Mel Gibson

Oscar winner Mel Gibson is set to star in Jodie Foster's latest directing gig "The Beaver" from a script by Kyle Killen, according to Variety.

Gibson gets to play a crazy dude who starts walking around with a beaver puppet, which he treats just like a human. Foster will star as his (poor) wife.

"The Beaver" marks Foster's third job as director; she previously helmed "Little Man Tate" and "Home for the Holidays." She was last seen onscreen in the disappointing adventure flick "Nim's Island."

As for Gibson, he's got Martin Campbell's cop drama "Edge of Darkness" coming up soon. "Beaver" sounds like a cool idea, and I guess Gibson is just the right guy to play the crazed lead.

BTW: Steve Carell was originally attached to the role, with Jay Roach in talks to direct.
