Don't look now but Mel Gibson may direct The Expendables 3



     This rumor may be as crazy as the man himself.
     With the success of the first two films, it was inevitable that we were going to get a third Expendables movie, probably next year.  The real question is who is going to direct the film.  Well star of the two action extravaganzas, sextagerian Sly Stallone, took to his Twitter account to propose a name:  Mel Gibson. 
     Old Mel has had some outrageous moments in recent years that have led  to his career coming to a screeching halt.  (When you go anti-Semitic, especially in Hollywood, it often times doesn't end well.)  Nonetheless there is no denying the man's talent.  Braveheart remains my third favorite all time film (behind The Shawshank Redemption and The Lord of the Rings) and despite the past I still think Mel has the directing and acting chops. 
     I could seriously see this happening and with a director like Mel Gibson it might even entice me to see it in the theater.  In the meantime you can next see Gibson in Machete Kills and Stallone in September's The Tomb alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.
