Mel Gibson Prison Protest a Misunderstanding?

Was it every a mix-up? Hundreds of people in Veracruz, Mexico protested the photography of Mel Gibson's newborn flick this week, modify before production got underway. As Elisabeth Rappe noted earlier this month, one situation in metropolis was every set to blank its slammer cells and designate the 1,000 inmates to a newborn situation under construction nearby so Mel could have the locate to himself. (He's finance and producing the project.) That didn't set likewise substantially with the families of prisoners, who are "the only maker of food and clean clothing" for inmates, Variety reported; moving inmates would order families to relocate as well. The protests were halted when the situation lawman told the families he'd let them undergo if he got any orders to designate anybody, according to USA Today, roughly equivalent to 'Don't oppose call us, we'll call you.'

You'd conceive histrion would undergo better. He filmed Apocalypto in metropolis in 2006, and reportedly donated $1 meg for hurricane relief, again according to USA Today.

Or is that likewise much to ask?
