Mel Gibson fires back at anti-Semitism claim
None
Mel Gibson fired back Thursday at screenwriter Joe Eszterhas for accusing the "Braveheart" star of anti-Semitism, calling the writer's comments "utter fabrications" and saying he was angry over a rejected film script.
Gibson has been working with the "Basic Instinct" screenwriter on a movie about the ancient Jewish hero Judah Maccabee. "Contrary to your assertion that I was only developing Maccabees to burnish my tarnished reputation, I have been working on this project for over 10 years and it was publicly announced eight years ago," Gibson wrote in the letter.
