On Set Of Signs When Mel Gibson lived up to his prankster reputation. During one scene in the sci-fi movie opening Aug. 2, Joaquin Phoenix as Gibson's brother is watching news of an alien attack in a little room under the stairs of their farmhouse. "On take 14, Mel comes crunching down the stairs and he's supposed to knock on the door of the little room I'm in, enter and then we do our scene, Phoenix says. "Well there was a knock, all I see is the lights go out in my little room and then I notice that I'm locked in this room that's no bigger than a closet!" Phoenix is savvy when it comes to these type of games. "I just sat there patiently for 15 minutes and then when Mel finally opened the door, I leaned out and did my line," he says. "Mel was so disappointed because I gave him absolutely no reaction to his prank." |
