MEL GIBSON’S MOVIE DENIAL
The Celebrity Truth, Australia
Dec 11 2007
A story has appeared on a Turkish news website claiming that a group
has starting an email campaign against Mel Gibson and his new movie,
a claim his rep is denying.
According to todayszaman.com, The Foundation for the Struggle Against
Baseless Allegations of Genocide (ASIMED) has targeted Gibson to
attempt to dissuade him "from playing a role in a film that underscores
claims of an alleged genocide of Anatolian Armenians by Ottoman Turks
during World War I."
A Professor at Ataturk University told the website that, "We have
begun sending documents about the truth of the situation to Gibson.
We started an e-mail campaign to urge him to decline the role and to
not allow this film to be shot at his production company."
The ‘Lethal Weapon’ star’s representative has denied any such
involvement with the production, telling TMZ that, "We don’t know
where that started. He doesn’t know anything about the project. Never
heard of it."
