Mexican Film Maker Accuses Mel Gibson Of Stealing Scenes
Former actor Mel Gibson has come under fire from a Mexican film director who claims that Gibson stole his ideas to use in his new film �Apocalypto�.

Juan Catlett claims that Gibson stole scenes from his film �Return To Aztlan� to use in �Apocalypto� after he paid just 100 pesos for a copy of the film.

Catlett said of the �Apocalypto�: �There are images very similar to those in my film.

�It seems my movie served as a consultancy and a reference � and they only paid me 100 pesos.�

Both films deal with the subject of ancient civilisations dying out; however, Gibson�s film has made millions while Cateltt�s 1989 film is all but forgotten.

In other Gibson news, he has sworn to never act on the big screen again and instead will stick to film making.

He reportedly said: �Film making it what I love now. I don�t want to be the �star� of a movie anymore.�

Would anyone go and see it if he was the star?
