Two studio executives made a bet. The bet was who could get a movie greenlit with the worst possible casting choices. Box office poison type stuff. The first studio executive managed to get what he thought would be a sure fire winner for the bet. This former A+ list mostly movie actor who is a racist, sexist woman beater starring in a Christmas movie. Had to be a winner right? Not so fast. The other executive said hold my beer and she managed to get a movie to yes with that same former A+ lister and a younger version of the former A+ lister without the religious issues but with much more racist and substance abuse issues. This is what the movie system has turned into.
Studio executive #1: Mel Gibson ("Fatman") (Mel Gibson Suits Up To Play Santa Claus In Action Comedy ‘Fatman’)
Studio executive #2: Mel Gibson/Shia La Beouf ("Rothchild") (Shia LaBeouf and Mel Gibson to Star in Black Comedy ‘Rothchild’)

Not Jewish, just rich.

"While the ethnicity of the family in the film has not been specified in reports, its similarity to the Rothschild name has sparked outrage because of the series of incidents that contributed to Gibson’s lengthy ostracism by Hollywood. "

Fatman looks better.

"In response to another recently announced project, Fatman, in which Gibson will play “a rowdy Santa Claus”, actor and director Seth Rogen tweeted: “Ho-ho-holocaust denier.”"
