Jodie Foster's The Beaver gets a synopsis, theoretical release date.

Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but the guy makes good films and works with good people (Richard Donner, Martin Campbell, etc). More importantly, I support Jodie Foster. Anyway, Summit Entertainment announced that they would indeed be releasing The Beaver this coming spring, along with this brief official synopsis:

Two-time Academy Award^® winner Jodie Foster directs and co-stars with two-time Academy Award^® winner Mel Gibson in THE BEAVER – an emotional story about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and re-start his life. Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can’t seem to get himself back on track…until a beaver hand puppet enters his life.

There will apparently be a trailer released online tomorrow.
