It’s time for some rumor patrol. There are several reports circulating
the internet that movie mogul Mel Gibson is planning on shooting a
documentary about the Armenian Genocide.
The documentary, "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh," was going to address
the genocide that took approximately 1.2 million Armenians lives
during WWI.
To this day, the Turkish government has done everything it can to sweep
the facts about the Armenian genocide under the rug. And apparently
Mel was ready to address them on the big screen.
According to the reports, actor Sylvester Stallone was also set to
partake in the movie, but declined the role after he received 3,000
e-mails from the ASIMED organization.
Hollyscoop contacted Mel Gibson’s rep Alan Nierob to get confirmation
on the project, but he assured us there is "No truth to it whatsoever."
So what’s next for Mel? He’s going to play a homicide detective who
investigates the death of his activist daughter in his next flick,
‘The Edge of Darkness’.
