MEL GIBSON NOT GOING TO ACT IN FILM ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE?
- As far as we know rumors about Mel Gibson playing a role on a film about the Armenian Genocide are no true, АNC-WR Executive Director Andrew Kzirian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. However, Hollywood may deny any hearsay just not to draw attention to the issue, he noted. The Foundation for the Struggle Against Baseless Allegations of Genocide (ASIMED) has begun an e-mail campaign to dissuade actor Mel Gibson from playing a role in a film about the Armenian Genocide during World War I. The president of ASIMED Savas Egilmez said that the Armenian Diaspora had assigned $100 million to Hollywood film production companies to encourage shooting of such a film. “Some Hollywood companies are preparing to shoot a film supporting the Armenian view. There is hearsay that Mel Gibson is to play a role in one of these films. The film is reported to be shot at Icon Productions, the company Gibson is a partner in,” said Egilmez.
