The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that ABC television, owned by the Walt Disney Co. (DIS), has dropped a Gibson miniseries project based upon the Holocaust.
Evidently the official story from ABC was that the project had been going on for two years and they hadn't received a script yet, so they were cancelling the deal.
Of course the timing is just coincidental with Mel recently saying in a drunken stupor that the Jews were responsible for starting all the wars in history. Right.
While the miniseries has been cancelled, the Disney studio will still release Gibson's Mayan-language movie called "Apocalypto," on December 8.
Gibson apologized on Saturday.
