The mass public will not ignore Mel Gibson movies according to Disney, despite his highly-publicised misdemeanours this summer.
The Mad Max star's latest film as director - Apocalypto - is due for release several months after he was caught drink driving and made anti-Semitic remarks during his arrest. But Dennis Rice, a spokesman for the Walt Disney Company, told Reuters: "If it's a good movie, people are going to see it... One of the great things about Mel Gibson is that he is a great filmmaker and he has a proven track record."
Previous directorial efforts from Gibson include box-office smashes Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ.
