Cast & Crew Force Mel Gibson Out Of 'The Hangover 2'
Posted on Oct 22, 2010 @ 06:38AM
Mel Gibson won’t be making a cameo appearance in The Hangover 2, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures and the film’s director Todd Phillips revealed the controversial Oscar winner had lost the support of the cast and crew.
In a statement, Phillips said, “I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of [WB president] Jeff Robinov and his team. But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”
Zach Galifianakis was reported to be upset with the decision to cast Gibson in a cameo.

He recently told Comedy Death-Ray podcast host Scott Aukermanthat: "A movie you're acting in, you don't have a lot of control — you just show up and vomit your lines out. I'm not the boss. I'm in a deep protest right now with a movie I'm working on, up in arms about something. But I can't get the guys to [listen] ... I'm not making any leeway."

TO ZACH: The STUDIO HEAD, Jeff Robinov, supported his hiring!
I hope that no one ever interferes with your right to make a living.
I can hardly believe that you've interfered with my right to enjoy a movie.
I'll remember you.

I think the timing was too soon. As the truth comes out about what Oksana has been doing, more people will be able to put the recorded phone calls into context and move on. He will be in another movie and would have been great in this one.

Anti-Catholic bigots. Mel is being punished by Hollywood for The Passion of the Christ.

No. Mel is being punished because of Mel. He's an addict who is full of hate. Who wants to be around that?

The people involved in the movie were concerned that this creepy old, out-of-shape has been would threaten violence on the set if they made him SOBER up. SO they cut bigot loose.
WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!

Why would they jump to that conclusion? I must've missed the reports on him being violent with co-workers, could you provide a link?

Zach may have done him a favor, as he probably didn't want to appear in their stupid movie anyway.

This has nothing to do with Oksana and everything to do with his bigoted remarks. Name a minority group he has not offended. Live by the sword and die by the sword.
