It’s just another day at the office for Mel Gibson. The actor, his beaver puppet, and his co-star/director Jodie Foster were filming scenes of their new film The Beaver in New York City today.

In this scene, Mel’s character makes an appearance on NBC’s The Today Show in Rockefeller Plaza.

Am I the only one wondering if this film will be any good?

Mel Gibson and his co-star Jodi Foster were busy on set of their new movie, The Beaver in New York City yesterday. If you check out these shots you can see that Mel has a puppet on his hand!

It’s because the premise of this movie revolves around Walter Black (Gibson) who walks around with a puppet of a beaver on his hand and treats it like a living creature. This is definitely an original idea and I’m quite curious to see how this all plays out on screen.

The film is being directed by Foster who will also play Mel’s wife, Meredith.
