(CBS News) Mel Gibson is reportedly considering suing screenwriter Joe Eszterhaus for releasing a recording of another angry rant from the actor.

The audio, which was obtained earlier this week by TheWrap, was allegedly recorded in December by Eszterhaus' 15-year-old son at Gibson's home in Costa Rica.

In the recording, a man purported to be Gibson shouts at Eszterhaus for not delivering a script for their joint movie project, "The Maccabees."

"What the f--- have you been doing?" he yelled. "I go to work, you're getting paid, I'm not! S---!"

The rest of the recording contains much more profanity, ending with a string of F-bombs and a few other choice words.

According to TMZ, Gibson's team is looking into the laws of Costa Rica to see if any were violated, or if his privacy was violated by the release of the audio. The website, citing "sources close to Gibson," says the actor believes he has a "basic human right" not to be recorded in his own home.

Last week, Eszterhaus accused Gibson in a letter of making anti-Semitic remarks and raging against ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. The letter was written after the script for "The Maccabees" was rejected and the project was reportedly put on hold.

Gibson responded in a letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times, in which he called Eszterhaus' claims "utter fabrications," and said his script was "substandard" and "a waste of time."

Mel made a movie promoting religion and Christianity and is the repeated target of Jewish owned media outlets like TMZ the NY Times and the Wrap.
Why?
Cuz secular Jewish Hollywood didn't want the film made since religion and Christianity oppose the trash they spew out as entertainment.
Four times illegal recordings and interviews of Mel have all ended up in Jewish media outlets like the NY times TMZ and the Wrap, all beginning from the time he announced he would make a big budget film about Jesus Christ, the first Hollywood produced in decades. Amazing coincidence.
Judases.
The good news is that American Jewry even if offended, and i doubt most are, are just 2% of the USA and global population and dwindling since most have given up their religion and gave up having enough children to replace themselves, outside of the Orthodox and Messianic branches. so Mel can still make movies people will watch and wont have to worry about a Jewish boycott.

Zionists$ are a greedy neocon racist destructive cult that is destroying religious Jews and are intent on destroying USA and taking control of the world. They attacked Iraq through puppet Bush, (for purpose of taking over Iraq land through emigration of Jews from all countries and immigrating them into Iraq). Conclusions are drawing closer that Zionists enabled the crashes into the towers and facilitated their falling including the 3rd tower that was not crashed but somehow fell the same as the crashed buildings, for the purpose of blaming their enemies and enabling a Presidential Preemptive attack, a strategy created by Israel and oozed into our Pentagon through the neocons and Wolfowitz. Picture the horror of the surprise that killed innocent women, pregnant and women delivering at the time of attack, and babies and children. Not an action Americans would do. We are not a country of cluckers who do that murdering when we were not attacked. Tell us, who are Israel's friends besides Christians, and why don't they get other friends who will open their wallets and let us take care of our own. They don't see the big trouble they are getting in here. Not a good idea. Mel is a Christian, under Satanic attack. Fumes and flames explode from those who hate Christ and the truth when Mel shows the truth about Christ and people. Will watch Mel's next films now knowing his works are not only historically accurate, and because of that, are under attack by those who work to revise and cover historical facts. Thanks to Eszterhaus for revealing the trustworthiness of his spirit. Can't wait to view Macc's. Keep going, Esz' boyz, and mooning Christians who are rethinking funding Israel. The game is near the end. Jesus Christ and believers win. Better get onboard, there is room for you. Esz, please watch Passion of The Christ again and pause it to read the relative scripture... read the entire Bible, Old & New Testaments and your scrolls and the discovered scrolls.

A lot of F-ing people care. Apparently you are one of them. rcmdbigr, What would you like CBS to report?

I think that Mel has some anger issues. Maybe is a bit loud when he get's upset. Would not be the first person I know to do this. I think the problem I have after hearing the recording is I do not hear how the conversation started? We get the highlight of Gibson's rant. What led up to his rant? This is rather unfair of the media to post such a short amount of this recording.

[longtree-2009]

based on what is in this article, don't blame gibson for being angry and speaking as he allegedly did on the tape. it's mild compared to what i would have said had i been in gibson's place. this is not something that should be held against gibson. he was in the right and his words were rather mild.

Mel
Your a nice guy
But the potty mouth thing
That's a brain problem

Eszterhaus clearly took notes and saw how much attention Oksana got when she ran to the tabloid laden media with her secret recording. Eszterhaus knew he could create another circus of sensationalism by pushing Mel's buttons and then recording it. I wonder how much money Eszterhaus has made off all the interviews he has recently granted? Talk about a tempest in a Hollywood teapot...

[dashyl]

All I know is that Mel Gibson is a gifted actor and an even more impressive director. What can be said for Eszterhaus is that he penned one of the worst films ever made (Showgirls) and that is no small distinction. With that said, I can't wait to see "Get the Gringo" which is Mel's new film.

[panteme]

Joe Eszterhaus clearly has an immense axe to grind over the rejection of his inept script and Mel is an easy target. The tape is not even new as Joe has apparently been hanging onto this clandestine recording for some time before he saw fit to release it. Don't kid yourself as this is all about Joe's bruised ego and nothing else.

Doesn't really matter what it's all about. The recording clearly shows who Mel Gibson is.
