Trailer Report: Get the Gringo

One Line Synopsis

Mel Gibson gets locked up in a Mexican prison, and starts behaving like Mel Gibson.

Director

Adrian Grunberg

Screenplay

Mel Gibson, Adrian Grunberg

The film looks gritty and Mel looks pretty cool and natural playing the main character, Driver. Grunberg was first assistant director on Apocalypto. It’s interesting that most of the film was shot in and around the Ignacio Allende Prison in Mexico and 300 prisoners had to be temporarily transferred to other jails. Get the Gringo is going straight to video-on-demand via Direct TV in the U.S. and will be theatrically released in Australia, Russia and other possible markets.
