Edge of Darkness (Mel Gibson)

[SFI]

Mel Gibson has committed to star in "Edge of Darkness," marking his first starring role in a feature film since he headlined "Signs" and "We Were Soldiers" in 2002.
Martin Campbell will direct the feature adaptation of the six-hour 1985 BBC miniseries, which Campbell also helmed.

William Monahan wrote the script, and Graham King is producing through his GK Films banner. Michael Wearing, who produced the original, will also produce, and the BBC will be involved in a producing capacity.

Campbell, who last directed "Casino Royale," developed the project and brought it to King a year ago. He enlisted Monahan for a page one rewrite; the scribe worked with King on "The Departed." King is self-financing the project and is committed to an August production start in Boston. It is unclear whether he will fully finance through production or enlist a studio.

Gibson will play a straitlaced police investigator whose activist daughter is killed. He plunges into the case and uncovers systemic corruption that led to his daughter's death.

Gibson had long been a fan of the mini and was receptive when King and Campbell approached him several months ago.

Warum man da aber nicht den Titel ändert und noch Glover castet, ist mir schleierhaft! 8-)

Mit Peggy Bundys Stimme sprech "Määääääääl." *g*
Stimme zu. Endlich ist er mal wieder selbst zu sehen und nicht nur hinter der Kamera. :)

Ach nee. Was Lethal Weapon angeht, für den "Mist" sind beide zu alt

Mel mal wieder vor der Kamera zu sehen tut auch gut.
