Mel Gibson is Being Considered to Play Lead Role in Action Thriller “Blood Father”

According to a number of media reports, renowned actor and director Mel Gibson is being considered to play a lead role in an action thriller "Blood Father" directed by Jean-Francois Richet, who is well known for films like Mesrine: Killer Instinct, Mesrine: Public Enemy #1, and Assault on Precinct 13.

According to play details, Gibson will be playing a role of an ex-con and former Hells Angel. The film has been described as a Taken-style action thriller. The script will be written by Peter Craig and it will be based on his own novel. Craig is well known script writer as well as novelist. He worked on scripts of various big films including Ben Affleck's "The Town", drafts of Top Gun 2 and "Bad Boys 3".

As per the script, Gibson will be playing an ex-con who joins up his alienated errant 16-YEar old daughter to keep her safe from drug lords who want to exterminate her. We can easily compare this film to the plot of the Renowned film "Taken" which stars Liam Neeson as the lead action hero who saVes her daughter from the criminals who abduct her. Although, story seems quite similar, but Gibson will surely appear with his unique style for this specific role, AND it would be still interesting to watch. We have watched Gibson before in such roles, but still, it must be an entertaining ride.

"Blood Father" has been projected to start filming in May in New Mexico. As the story of Craig's novel goes: Lydia Carson runs away from her home, and at age of 17, she deals with a person who increases his profits with inexplicable acts. One day, she finds herself protecting a home in Topanga Canyon in the course of a shakedown. As fatal hostility goes off, she herself turns out to be a target. She runs away down a rivulet and from the hillsides to the coast–by herself, penniless, and scared. Her final preference is her father John Link who has just been released from jail.

Link saves his daughter, but after some days he becomes conscious that her condition is far more unsafe and complex than he considered. He has to adopt his past wild way of life to look after his daughter, reverting to life-threatening previous friends and places of escape.

Keep in mind that Gibson is in talks so far, he has not been confirmed to play the role. What are your views about this film and if Gibson plays the role?
