Mel Gibson To Direct Mini-Series About The Holocaust

I'm not making this up:

Gibson, who apologized Saturday for making "despicable" remarks in what was described as an anti-Semitic tirade after a drunk driving arrest, in some ways now finds himself at the mercy of a Hollywood establishment that may or may not be inclined to extend forgiveness.

His most immediate issue is with Walt Disney Co., which is distributing "Apocalypto" and which also, through its ABC television network, has a development deal with his company to make a miniseries about the Holocaust.

Several prominent critics of "The Passion" have stepped forward to suggest that Gibson, who denied there was an anti-Semitic undercurrent in his movie about the last hours of Christ's life, has now shown his true colors.

Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't Gibson deny that the Holocaust actually happened? Or perhaps he said something to the effect that it happened, but the number of dead was exaggerated. In any event, Disney might want to reconsider having Mel on this particularly project.

I must admit, though, that I am looking forward to Gibson's upcoming film, "Apocalypto."
