OK, he had us at crazy. In a bout of accidentally inspired type-casting, cuckoo-bird Mel Gibson looks pretty damn natural playing a puppet-possessed nut in Jodie Foster's The Beaver. Judging by this new trailer, it seems that rumors of Mel's Hollywood demise may have been premature. That's our take anyway.

But what do you think? Would you pay to see Gibson in Foster's Beaver. Let us know in the comments section.
