"Mel Gibson has revealed that he will no longer finance his own movies. Throughout his career, Gibson has directed and produced 2006&amp;#039;s Apocalypto and 2004&amp;#039;s controversial religious epic The Passion of the Christ.  When asked what he would like to do next after those two films, Gibson told The Hollywood Reporter: &amp;quot;Its tricky, those films you refer to, nobody would have financed them, they more or less worked, but I would never have got anyone else to finance them.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m out of that business of financing my own films because they see you coming and take you for a ride. I&amp;#039;m not a fool. It&amp;#039;s difficult for the things I deem worthy to direct, where you can get a really good compelling story out of - nobody else has much faith in it and never did.&amp;quot; The Expendables 3 star also shared details about his and director Jean-Fran\u00C3\u00A7ois Richet&amp;#039;s upcoming movie Blood Father. &amp;quot;I play this motorcycle guy who happens to have a daughter, who happens to be in trouble\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 and an adventure ensues,&amp;quot; he said.  On Friday (July 4), Gibson accepted a lifetime achievement award at the 49th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic for his contributions in the film industry, including starring in Mad Max, the Lethal Weapon franchise and Braveheart. Gibson&amp;#039;s award was protested by the Czech Jewish community amid continuing allegations that he promoted &amp;quot;classic stereotypes&amp;quot; in The Passion of the Christ.
