I was getting ready to write this: Notorious anti-Semite, racist, and misogynist Mel Gibson is back. He looked deranged as ever in his new straight to video release, called “Force of Nature.” His co-stars are Emile Hirsch, who once punched a female publicist in Hollywood, and Kate Bosworth, who is married to the director, Michael Polish. The whole thing goes digital on June 30th and will be very popular in Albania, or someplace where Mel’s comments about the Holocaust– “at this point it’s a numbers game” — aren’t a concern.

Then I looked on Wikipedia, and it turns out Hutton Gibson DIED on May 11th and no one told us. Hallelujah! Neo-Nazi loving, anti-Arch Diocese, bizarre rogue Catholic Hutton was 101, almost 102. Did corona virus kill him? Who knows! But Hutton Gibson was a bad, bad guy who was a Holocaust denier and all around crazy person. As noted in Wikipedia, he was quoted as saying the Second Vatican Council was “a Masonic plot backed by the Jews.” He also hated every Pope and railed against the Catholic church even though he was Catholic.

It was for Hutton that Mel built his Holy Family church in Malibu (Agoura Hills) funded with $70 million tax free through Mel’s AP Reilly Foundation. It continues in blissful ignorance to this day. Mel, meantime, you know, had seven kids with first wife Robyn, cheated on her, had his famous DUI incident which revealed all his horrible traits to the world. Then he hooked up with much younger Oksana Grigorieva, gave crazy interviews about the Holocaust, basically lost his career. Now he’s with some young Tootsie and he has a kid who’s younger than his grandchildren.

As for Hutton, hell is too good a fate. Also from Wikipedia: In a 2003 interview he questioned how the Nazis could have disposed of six million bodies during the Holocaust and claimed that the September 11, 2001 attacks were perpetrated by remote control.

So roast in Hell, Hutton. And everyone ignore “Force of Nature” when it’s released this June. At least there’s no beaver involved.

The last time there was a “Scream” movie, number 4, was in 2011. Stars Courteney Cox and David Arquette were a married couple. The Weinstein Company was still in business, and Bob Weinstein was running the Dimension division.

Fast forward nine years. Cox and Arquette are divorced. Neve Campbell has made 5 or 6 movies no one’s ever heard of except a really bad action film with Dwayne Johnson called “Skyscraper.” Wes Craven, who directed all four “Scream” movies, is dead. The Weinstein Company and Dimension? Well, that’s a long story. They’re no longer in business.

But there will be a “Scream 5,” apparently, Spyglass Entertainment will make it. Arquette was announced today. Campbell’s announcement may come tomorrow. Courteney Cox? She’s not saying no. By Friday, the original “Scream” trio will be reunited.

Here’s something: look for Coco Cox-Arquette, who turns 16 in June, to be part of the young cast. There’s no way she won’t be part of “Scream: The Next Generation.” It’s a family business.

Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will write and direct. They made last year’s hip horror film, “Ready or Not.” Kevin Williamson, who wrote the “Scream” movies, will be a consulting producer of some kind. And look, if it’s good, it will be great fun. If it’s not good, we’ll live. Either way, it’s worth a try.

And who will play Ghostface? If they don’t shoot until after January 20, 2021, Donald Trump will be available, unless the producers think it’s typecasting.

If we had been in Cannes, Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” would have gotten a standing ovation last night at the Palais. Chadwick Boseman would have been the toast of the town, with lots of Oscar buzz.

Interestingly, Cannes’s Thierry Fremaux would have allowed “Da 5 Bloods” to be featured out of competition as a nod to jury chief Spike Lee, despite the festival’s long standing position against Netflix and TV platform films. But even Fremaux would have had to acquiesce this time, and Lee would have told me how grateful he was it all worked out.

“Da 5 Bloods” heavily features the Chambers Brothers’ great hit “Time Has Come Today” in the trailer. I hope they were paid very well.

The movie is described as the story of four African-American Vets — Paul (Delroy Lindo), Otis (Clarke Peters), Eddie (Norm Lewis), and Melvin (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.) — who return to Vietnam. Searching for the remains of their fallen Squad Leader (Chadwick Boseman) and the promise of buried treasure, our heroes, joined by Paul’s concerned son (Jonathan Majors), battle forces of Man and Nature — while confronted by the lasting ravages of The Immorality of The Vietnam War.

Norm Lewis, if there’s a god, you’ll get a nomination, too. If you don’t know Norm Lewis, he’s a Broadway superstar, and the most criminally underrated actor in the world.
