According to Hollywood pundits, the actor, film director, producer and screenwriter, lost money on his self-financed movie Get The Gringo, which was filmed largely in Mexico last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;However, according to knowledgeable sources, Slim Domit has been interested in the film industry for some time and Grupo Carso, Slim\u2019s business conglomerate in which Slim Jr.\u00a0 serves as Chairman of the Board, has taken advantage of a new Mexican law that waives some taxes for businessmen that invest in producing films. In 2010, the year of Mexico\u2019s Bicentennial, Slim Jr. produced an animated film for children about Mexico\u2019s founding fathers. One additional thing the Slims and Gibson have in common, sources say, is that both are Catholics. \u201cI suspect there is a film under consideration,\u201d said a source who asked not be named.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire Forbes article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/doliaestevez\/2013\/09\/12\/are-mexican-carlos-slim-jr-and-mel-gibson-talking-business-or-just-having-fun\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>-by Thomas Lloyd<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/buy-in-mexico-testimonials.php?web=Blog\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Mexico Real Estate Testimonials\" src=\"http:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Banners\/testimonials-01.jpg\" \/><\/a><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Mel Gibson doing business in Mexico?\u00a0 There is some speculation about it.\u00a0 A recent trip to Mexico and a meeting with Carlos Slim Domit (son of the world&#8217;s second richest man, Carlos Slim Helu,) have made people wonder if Gibson is looking to this wealthy family to finance his movies.
