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.
Martin Campbell is known for reinvigorating the James Bond franchise twice – first with GoldenEye and then Casino Royale a few years earlier. And now he is being sought to direct Green Lantern, the live-action film based on the popular DC Comics superhero.
The attachment of Campbell with the project will put the film at Warner Bros. frontline. They are currently expecting Chris Nolan to follow up The Dark Knight with another hit sequel. However, other DC projects such as Superman, Flash and Wonder Woman have stalled.
The film’s script has been written by Greg Berlanti with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.
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.
Filming begin August 18th.
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.
