Okay, hold up there on that Disney-dumping- Apocalypto thing. At least until you consider the view of another connected distribution guy who called back this afternoon and said he hasn’t heard anything about Mel Gibson‘s film being quietly offered to other distributors, and “you’d think I’d be hearing something.” But then you never know with Disney, he added, because “they’re so crazy.” He emphasized, in any case, that it would be awfully expensive for Disney if they tried to get rid of Apocalypto because Icon, Gibson’s production company, is “very tough” and would insist upon Disney paying very heavy financial penalities if they pulled out. Take this with another grain.
