The Two Mels

The famous “hands off” approach of Hollywood Mogul, Werner Brothers, may have finally backfired. The highly successful, yet controversial Brothers, who most recently brought to the screen the epic adaption of the sixties Television classic, Mr. Ed, starring Tom Cruise as Ed, had announce that his next epic would be a biopic of God. It seems that Brothers knew that he wanted to hire Mel Gibson to be the writer and director, but left the task to his Associate Producer, who mistakenly hired Mel Brooks.

When reached for comment, Gibson said, “This is clearly not the Mel that he wanted. My Lawyers are meeting with Mr. Brothers’ Lawyers to review the contract, and to check if there is any way that we can correct this egregious error. I was expecting to make piece full of floods, famine, war and pestilence, then I see the script. He’s got God dancing something called the Hora at a Jewish wedding. Everyone knows that the Jews had nothing to do with God.

Brooks, last week announced the beginning of his prospective cast. Brooks himself will play God, with Cloris Leachman as his sister, “Auntie Christ.”
