Mel Gibson in Million Dollar Hotel???

MEL GIBSON still mulling ``Cities''

Mel Gibson's withdrawal from ``A Tale of Two Cities'' wasn't quite due to a
breakdown in talks, as Dish's last dispatch reported. Turns out a deal was
sealed, but scheduling proved too tight for Gibson to do the picture and
prepare ``Fahrenheit 451,'' which he directs next year. Gibson might well star
for producers Paula Weinstein and Barry Levinson in ``Cities'' later.

If Gibson does act before ``451,'' it could be in ``The Million Dollar
Hotel,'' the Wim Wenders-directed picture about a murder in a sleazy hotel,
which stars Jeremy Davies and Milla Jovovich and is based on a story hatched
by U2 lead singer Bono. Gibson hasn't decided, but it doesn't hurt that the
``Hotel'' proprietor is Gibson's Icon Prods.
