Mel Gibson’s Hanukkah movie is in trouble
TMZ has learned, another company is currently making their own Judah Maccabee film … and they’re racing to beat Mel to the punch.
Sources close to the production tell us, the untitled Judah film — by producer Bruce Nash and writer Scott Abbott – was fast-tracked once news broke that Mel was putting together his own Maccabee homage.
We’re told Nash believes Mel is the wrong person to helm such an important Jewish story — telling friends, the Hanukkah tale should be told by someone who has respect for the Jewish community.
As we previously reported, Mel’s been developing his J Macc film for 10 years — and sources tell us Nash has been working on his for 15. Nash doesn’t have a shoot date yet, but the race is on.
Shana Tova!
