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.
