| Mel Gibson battles drug dealers in thriller ‘Blood Father’ Posted: 17 Feb 2015 12:02 AM PST  "Get the Gringo" Japanese Theatrical Poster After a string of shoot ‘em up titles such as Get The Gringo, Machete Kills and Expendables 3, Mel Gibson is out for more blood in yet another actioner. Gibson is currently working on action thriller called Blood Father. According to Deadline, Blood Father is about an ex-con who reunites with his estranged wayward 16-year old daughter to protect her from drug dealers who are trying to kill her. Blood Father is helmed by Jean-Francois Richet (Mesrine) and written by Peter Craig (The Town). As we mentioned before, considering the controversial star is still doing violent films, it’s damn shame he didn’t reunite with George Miller for Mad Max 4: Fury Road. |
