Then, the ultra-perfectionist filmmaker decided this April that the epic needed some reshoots. Gibson says he still isn't sure why Kubrick felt the added shooting was necessary or how the new scenes will fit into the picture. ``All I know is that I play a mathematics professor about to accept a new position at the University of Michigan (body, education) University of Michigan - A large cosmopolitan university in the Midwest USA.

The doctor - Tom Cruise - is there, and then, there's this scene that happens. ``I believe mine is a new character. I didn't ask. I only saw my scenes - I know Stanley was changing other scenes. I was just pleased to be part of the picture. I have no idea how I fit into the puzzle, except I know it's a very important piece of the puzzle.''

There have to be restrictions on weapons. We have to get guns away from kids, away from schools.'' Keach, whose new ``Mike Hammer'' series is currently airing in syndication, acknowledges that the detective relies heavily on his famous firearm, ``Betsy.'' ``But he has a license.
