Mel Gibson commissioned Joe Eszterhas to write a screenplay for The Maccabees. If that sounds like a bad idea to you, it's even crazier than that. I guess it fell through but Eszterhas loves his script so much that he wants it back so that he can shop it around to another producer. Fair enough, but he apparently wrote a letter to Gibson asking for it and he described crazy and anti-semitic behavior by Gibson that Exzterhas claims to have observed. Here's Joe Eszterhas' Letter to Mel Gibson. I have no idea if any of this stuff is true, but I know this; if I wanted to ask a favor of someone, I wouldn't spend eight pages describing how crazy I thought they were before asking the favor.
