After Summit Entertainment put the release of The Beaver on hold following the scandal surrounding the movie's lead, Academy Award-winner Mel Gibson, this summer, it was unclear what would become of the black comedy directed by and co-starring Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster. Neophyte writer Kyle Killen's screenplay for The Beaver, about a formerly successful toy executive (Gibson) who uses a hand puppet to help him reconnect with friends and family after falling into a deep depression, has been lauded for years, even landing atop the 2008 Black List for best unproduced screenplays. However, despite a strong screenplay, and even with Foster's description of Gibson's performance as "one of his most powerful and moving performances," Summit pulled The Beaver from its December release and did not submit it to the Academy for consideration. Apparently, Summit feels that the controversy surrounding Gibson has died down sufficiently to take The Beaver out of its holding pattern because the movie has been slated for a Spring 2011 release, and a wealth of promotion materials for the movie have recently been released, including a new theatrical poster, a detailed synoposis and the first trailer for the movie.
