/PanARMENIAN.Net/ As far as we know rumors about Mel Gibson playing a
role on a film about the Armenian Genocide are no true, ÀNC-WR
Executive Director Andrew Kzirian told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. However, Hollywood may deny any hearsay just not to draw
attention to the issue, he noted.
The Foundation for the Struggle Against Baseless Allegations of
Genocide (ASIMED) has begun an e-mail campaign to dissuade actor Mel
Gibson from playing a role in a film about the Armenian Genocide
during World War I. The president of ASIMED Savas Egilmez said that
the Armenian Diaspora had assigned $100 million to Hollywood film
production companies to encourage shooting of such a film. `Some
Hollywood companies are preparing to shoot a film supporting the
Armenian view. There is hearsay that Mel Gibson is to play a role in
one of these films. The film is reported to be shot at Icon
Productions, the company Gibson is a partner in,' said Egilmez.
