VOTD: Mel Gibson’s The Colonel

the colonel
Jimmy Kimmel Live premiered the first movie trailer for The Colonel, Mel Gibson’s return to the big screen. This new epic historical biopic tells the story of the most important figures of the Civil War-era America. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Thanks to /Film reader Brian from OR (via: Cinemablend) for the tip.

    They need to make this film.

    I'm so there. I guess Kimmel is the place for actors who may be seen in a negative light by the public to redeem themselves.
  • Yeah, but come on Mel Gibson is awesome. Say what you will about him personally, but he is a good actor and even a director- though yes The Passion sucked. I know he is going to be in that Mart Campbell movie, hopefully that gets him back in the spotlight. Awesome video, "From the producers of Step Up 2 The Streets!"
  • yes. gibson is great in so many ways, that it would be idiotic to discount him because of a drunken rant. besides, whatever you might think of the passion, or what it's trying to say, it still remains a very solid piece of filmmaking. the man is mad max, the man is marting riggs, the man is wallace.
  • Crazy Eddie
    Hee hee... "The man is Wallace" I can't help but picture him in the live action film. Who would play Gromit?
  • I'd cast geena davis.
  • Palmer
    I...I actually laughed. My word, I actually laughed!
  • that was pretty hilarious. 'love him then.....IN HELL!'
  • avoidz
    Colonel Sanders? Finger-licking good!
  • Mel... ROCKS
  • Hahaha I miss Gibson :( He messed up said some things he shouldn't have at all, but who hasn't?
  • Lencho
    Ah, if only this were real.
  • Mag
    Id give CHC for this film.

    Kentucky's gonna fry tonight"
  • HAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH. He has totally redeemed himself in my eyes.
  • lol. Good ol' Mel Gibson.
  • dagreenman18
    This is actually an awesome idea. Someone should seriously make a Colonel Sanders biopic.
  • I smiled through the entire thing...that was great, I will never look at the colonel the same again...
  • Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but dammit I miss him on the big screen.
  • FreedomPopular
    LMAO

    Wow, this is the best thing to come on Jimmy Kimmel since... well come to think of it, it's the only good thing to come on Jimmy Kimmel.

    P.S.
    I don't care how crazy Mel Gibson is (and believe me, he is) he's still freaking awesome.
  • This was absolutely hilarious. Go Kimmel! (I still have my doubts about Mel though...)
  • Mel Gibson crazy hilarious
  • Mel Gibson is crazy hilarious
  • marinamiz
    Mel Gibson is better than ever! Great, great, simply great! And it is hard to accept the fact that since his 2006 bad moments, people keep insulting him much more than he did at that time, while drunk. He apologized many times and sincerely, but people are so mean. ..Come on, guys, get over it and let yourselves enjoy the high quality of everything Mel has done and (thanks God) will keep doing for many more years, as a gift to all of us, «great movies» lovers! Welcome back, man!!! We love you,YOU ARE THE BEST and we missed you a lot!
  • Branden
    The fake trailer for "The Colonel" is the best thing ever. It made my day.
  • kyle
    hahaha that was great.
  • That's possibly the funniest thing ever to come out of the Jimmy Kimmel show.
  • lmao @ 'we're gonna need a bigger bucket' & 'finger-lickin' dead'
  • This was good, finger lickin' good.
  • ROFL, I thought it was real at first!
