Mel on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno & Backstage
Mel made a visit to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Friday night to promote Get the Gringo. He talked about Lucia, cooking and even joked about the recorded rant Joe Eszterhas made public. Interestingly enough, he mentioned the film had a theatrical release deal, however, he chose to premiere it via DirecTV.
Mom told me about this at the last minute, but I was out and couldn't post an update or watch the show. She found Mel was very charming--goes to show, regardless of the controversy, the man can still make you laugh!

Robert Rodriguez “Chasing Cast” For Machete 2
Mike Fleming of Deadline posted the official press release for Sin City 2 and reports director Robert Rodriguez (FYI: Future Husband #2) is "chasing cast" for Machete 2 ("Machete Kills"), which includes Michelle Williams and Mel Gibson!
I'm a huge fan of Robert's films (and his book Rebel Without a Crew). If you haven't seen it, Machete is full of action, parodies 1970's exploitation films and has a loyal, eager fanbase. The project could be right for Mel - maybe even poke fun of himself (LET'S BE REAL HERE!).
Below is the official trailer that stars Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, ...
Mel Meets The Kid: New ‘Get the Gringo’ Clip
A new scene from Get the Gringo is available via Digital Spy. A 10-year-old boy, played by Kevin Hernandez, and Driver (Mel) meet. Throughout the movie, he helps Driver survive in a Mexican prison. Kevin really holds his own beside Mel.
Interview with Mel at ‘Mad Max’ Event
The Los Angeles Times posted a video of Geoff Boucher interviewing Mel at last month's Mad Max Marathon at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.
They discuss Mad Max's influence in pop culture (i.e. music videos), George Miller as a director, joke about TMZ, working with Tina Turner, how the new Mad Max will be "more pure," Tom Hardy is a "firecracker," how the idea for the Viking film started... you get the point! They talk about a whole bunch of stuff you all might find interesting. Mel seemed relaxed and charismatic as usual.

The film is set to release via DirecTV on May 1st.
‘Get the Gringo’ Set For Release… But Not In Theaters
Mel's new flick Get the Gringo will not be released in movie theaters, according Deadline. Icon Productions made a deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment to release the film via satellite television provider DirecTV around May 1st and will be charged $10.99 per home viewing. Later in the year, it will be available on Blu-ray, Video-On-Demand (VOD) and digital download.
Deadline writer Mike Fleming says this is an innovative deal. I say it's discouraging. First DirecTV took Friday Night Lights (TV series) away from me and now they're taking Mel!
Fox and DirecTV and Icon will do a national marketing campaign for the movie, which will start ...
