The Batshit Triumvirate is Complete
It’s Crazy Bastard Day at Quizlaw, y’all. And no Crazy Day is complete without Mel Gibson, right? Well, The Guardian Unlimited is reporting that Gibson is being sued by Mexican director, Juan Catlett, who claims that Gibson ripped off several of his ideas for Mel’s Mayan epic, Apocalypto:
Juan Catlett claims that Gibson used scenes from his 1991 film, Return to Aztlan, in Apocalypto. The storylines basically cover the same ground, depicting the Mayan civilization imploding in a time of great drought.Catlett alleges that Gibson asked for a copy of his film while shooting Apocalypto and that scenes from Return to Aztlan ended up in Gibson’s film. Catlett has now started legal proceedings against Gibson.
When reached for comment, Gibson defended himself by claiming that God spoke to him (via Pat Robertson) and suggested that he steal the scenes in question lest terrorist Jews revolt and launch an attack on America, which would result in “mass killings.”
