I like this movie trailer because it tells you what Edge of Darkness is all about with even a tiny, little spoiler. The acting is intense and Mel Gibson does a great job. It’s a typical cop story but it resonates a better quality than most. Martin Campbell directed the movie. Casino Royale is on his resume as well as Mark of Zorro, the guy knows action. The movie opens next year, January 29, 2010.
The trades are reporting that Warner Bros. has picked up the North American rights to the Edge of Darkness remake from GK Films.
Based on the classic ’80s BBC miniseries, the film sees Mel Gibson playing a homicide cop whose 24-year-old daughter is murdered on the steps to his home. His search for the killers leads him to a world of corporate cover-ups and government collusion, causing a CIA agent to be sent to clean up the evidence.
The project also stars Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, Bojana Novakoic and Shawn Roberts.
It is helmed by Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, who also directed the original miniseries. Shooting wrapped up in November. No release date has been announced so far.
Edge of Darknessadds Ray Winstone to the cast as the replacement for Robert De Niro. Mel Gibson stars in the drama directed by Martin Campbell.

Winstone is looking at playing an agent who cleans up evidence in a murder of a detective’s (Gibson) daughter. The detective wants answers as to why his daughter was killed.
Robert De Niro just arrived on the set of Edge of Darkness this week. Then, he bowed out and left the production.
De Niro planned on playing an operative sent to clean up the evidence in the murder of a young woman. Mel Gibson stars as the victim’s father, a homicide detective for the Boston Police Dept. who find outs about her secret life, a corporate cover-up and government secret plot.
Danny Huston, Shawn Roberts and Bojana Novakovic also star.
The filmmakers plan to shoot around De Niro’s character’s scenes pending a replacement.

The cop discovers his daughter’s secret life and uncovers a world of corporate cover-ups and government collusion. Huston takes on the role of a shady businessman while Roberts will play the role of the daughter’s distraught boyfriend.
Robert De Niro is also in the film, cast as a CIA cleaner.

I am happy to hear that Robert De Niro is closing in on a deal to work with Mel Gibson in Edge of Darkness the Martin Campbell-directed feature that is based on Campbell’s 1985 BAFT-winning six-hour BBC miniseries. Filming begins this month in Massachusetts.
Gibson stars as Thomas Craven, a straitlaced homicide detective for the Boston Police Dept. and single father, whose 24-year old daughter is murdered on the steps of his home. The cop supposes he was the target, but his investigation leads in another direction and uncovers his daughter’s secret life, a corporate cover-up and government collusion.
De Niro plays the operative sent to clean up the evidence.
I can’t wait to see these two actors star in the same film – such talent.
