Everyone took notice of Mel Gibson’s creepy mustache two nights ago at the Academy Awards ceremony. As it turns out, Gibson’s ’stache — which is probably worthy of some commentary from our own Robert Fure — is not just for show. It is for his latest movie, The Colonel. Debuting the trailer last night on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Gibson’s Colonel is a heart-wrenching drama about the rise of the man Colonel Harland Sanders, the man who invented the secret recipe in 1852 that drives the success of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) to this day.

Spoiler Alert: The following trailer reveals the Colonel’s true secret ingredient.
