The first trailer for The Beaver has arrived. The film is directed by and co-stars Jodie Foster alongside Mel Gibson and was originally planned to release this winter in order to qualify for awards season. The image problem being faced by Gibson however forced Summit to move it to next year and they have since settled on a spring time frame for release. The story centers on a man with emotional problems who begins using a beaver hand puppet as his only means of communication.
