Mel Gibson is starring in a movie called The Beaver. It's a film about a "guy who walks around with a puppet of a beaver on his hand and treats it as a living creature." Mel Gibson plays Walter Black, a depressed man who finds a beaver puppet in the trash and believes it's real and is able to give him advice. When I saw the disconcerting photos of Mel running around yelling with the beaver puppet on his arm scattered across the internet, I was instantly hooked.
However, I wondered if the film would become a tad more interesting if it was the Beaver who found the Mel Gibson puppet in the trash and once sliding his arm inside the filthy and threadbare puppet, he could never get it off. To make it more improbable, perhaps the Beaver could be a recently unemployed, but highly educated and distinguished butler from London. Since there's no way to remove the Mel Gibson puppet from his arm, he has no choice but to be in service to it. The film follows the life of the tortured Beaver as he gracefully endures the tequila-guzzling exploits of the trash talking Mel Gibson puppet as it wreaks havoc across Malibu.
I even took a stab at revising the script, but apparently Kyle Killen's screenplay is brilliant and my version will never see the light of day. Oh well, back to the ole drawing board. Medium: Graphite on paper, digital color. An explanation of the artistic process is posted here.
Dude you do not know WTF you are talking about, he has money of his own to make movies if he wants to how the fuck did you think the passion was made.. and he does get movies Edge of darkness.

If I win the lottery, I'll bankroll your script in a NY minute, Dear Quatorze.
Still hyp-MO-tized by the Immortal Anti-Semite-Devil Mel,though,so I ponder--Where is Puppet Mel's Puppet Finger Wart?
Vern, you is splitting my sides...

"What Beavers want" is technically redundant.
It's not a tooomah! It's a puppet! Truly, it is.
14, you're a rockstar!

I think Triumph the Insult Comic Dog should get his own movie. Once again, brilliant art...

Vern, you inspired me. I say it should be called
Lethal Beaver
or Mad Beaver

I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that your genious slant on the story has (sadly)already been pitched from a serious angle to the suits over at Warner Brothers by the Road Warrior himself, most likely during the flailings of a Red Bull and vodka stupor. I can just imagine the story idea taking shape amidst incoherent rants and wildly inapropriate racial slurs while everyone else in the room sits wild eyed as if they just witnessed the office drunk burn down the tree at the company Christmas party. Must've been a great meeting. You're the best, 14. Keep it up!
