Mel Gibson meets Oscar Arias over possible donation

Mel Gibson took time away from yelling at Central American studies professors to meet with Costa Rican president Oscar Arias on Monday (image). Gibson- whose previous experience with Central America also includes the 2006 film Apocalypto- discussed a possible financial pledge to Costa Rican natives and told reporters that he brought a house on the country's Pacific coast.

Last word on the story goes to celeb blog Defamer:

“We imagine Gibson's new Costa Rican neighbors will be eager to pitch projects to the high-profile resident and benefactor. Still, aspiring local screenwriters may be disappointed to learn…that the last thing Gibson is interested in exploring is "a native Costa Rican take on What Women Want," having his heart set instead on a 9-page treatment outlining a 90-minute, real-time flaying to death of a single Indian by Spanish Conquistadors.”
