This week it was announced that Warner Bros. has put a movie about Judah Maccabee on hold after writer Joe Eszterhas and producer Mel Gibson got into a nasty exchange—the former eventually penning a 9-page letter to the actor accusing him of hating Jews. Gibson responded to the aforementioned letter with his own, claiming the movie was on hold because he was "extraordinarily disappointed" with Eszterhas's script; he signed off saying: "this should be our last communication."
Not so fast, Gibson! Eszterhas is punching back with some hits from the archives. He claims that the actor even attacked the late John Lennon in one of his rants, declaring:
"I'm glad he's dead. He deserved to be shot. He was a fucking messianic. Listen to his songs! Imagine. I hate that fucking song. I'm glad he's dead."
All the Beaver movies in the world won't make Gibson likeable after this one.
