CANNES, France Jodie Foster and Austin screenwriter Kyle Killen brought The Beaver to Cannes on Tuesday, but the star of the movie, Mel Gibson, did not show up with them at the press conference.
Gibson did, however, plan to walk the red carpet for the Tuesday night screening, which is open to the public.
Hell be here, Foster said. He wont be talking.
Foster was referring to media speculation as to whether Gibson would attend the Cannes Film Festival and possibly answer questions about his recent trouble-filled past, including anti-Semitic remarks and the verbal abuse of his ex-wife.
In The Beaver, Gibson stars as a man who chooses to communicate through a beaver puppet, mainly because hes going through a personal crisis.
