Hell's Angel, indeed...



Mel Gibson is reportedly in line to star in a Taken-inspired thriller Blood Father. The Playlist reports that the controversial actor will play the father of a teenage girl, who is running from the cartel. Of course, Gibson's character isn't just anybody; he's an ex convict, also a former Hell's Angels member. Does he sound more dangerous than Liam Neeson?



Details below:

Deadline reports that Gibson will take the lead in "Blood Father," which is, admittedly, a pretty badass name for a movie. And perhaps it shouldn't be a total surprise that this is described as a "Taken"-esque thriller, with a script by Peter Craig ("The Town") that follows an ex-con who reunites with his estranged 16 year-old daughter to save her life when drug dealers want to kill her. You can practically hear the growling already. Jean-François Richet ("Mesrine, "Assault On Precinct 13") will direct.
