“Signs” and “We Were Soldiers” are the last films Mel Gibson starred in, but won’t be true for long. 

Variety reports that Gibson is committed to star in “Edge of Darkness.”

Oscar winner William Monahan wrote the script and Martin Campbell is directing.

Gibson plays a respectable police investigator whose activist daughter is killed. He immerses himself into the case and uncovers systemic corruption that led to his daughter’s death.

Gibson had long been a fan of the story, which was a 1985 BBC mini-series, and was receptive when King and Campbell approached him several months ago.

    Variety.com reports that Brian De Palma’s “The Fury” is in the remake mode to the big screen.New version will center on a young man with heightened kinetic powers who is abducted by the government in order to take advantage of his special gifts.

Original, starring Kirk Douglas, Amy Irving and John Cassavetes and released in 1978 and was based on John Farris’ 1976 novel of the same name.

I don’t know if you remember the original film, but I thought it was quite good.  I hope the remake takes a different name because I am sure it will be a different film.

This photo is of Amy Irving in the 1978 version of “The Fury.”  I haven’t seen Irving in awhile, and I’d love to see her on the big screen again soon.
