Mel Gibson, his wife, and seven kids are leaving the United States and moving to the Guanacaste province in Costa Rica.   They have sold properties in Connecticut and California to afford the $26 million ranch a secluded area of the country. Mel has met with the president and several leaders of industry. He plans to open a movie production studio down here, which will spur the very young film industry in Costa Rica.

With all the recent controversy surrounding Gibson (antisemitism, alcohol issues, etc) his fans are hoping that the move to Costa Rica will shape things up for him. Still no word on when his first local production will commence.
