The Puppet Fits Him Like A Glove

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster are getting ready to pair up for the $18 million comedy The Beaver, reports Variety.



Gibson will play a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet.

Foster will both direct the film and play the role of the man's wife. The actress brought the project to Gibson herself.

Kyle Killen wrote the script which made last year's coveted Black Listed and that had both Jim Carrey Steve Carell circling it back in May.

Anonymous Content's Steve Golin and Keith Redmon will produce the film.

Foster and Gibson co-starred in 1994's Maverick.

Shooting kicks off this September in New York City.
