Mel Gibson Bashes Skulls in ‘Edge of Darkness’ Trailer

The first trailer for the Mel Gibson action/drama Edge of Darkness is out and it looks good. Edge of Darkness features Gibson as a Boston detective who uncovers a conspiracy while investigating the death of his activist daughter. The film was written by William Monahan (The Departed) and was directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale).

(Fun fact: The part played by Ray Winstone was originally supposed to be played by Robert De Niro who dropped out of the film in its early stages.)

Check out the trailer and a poster for the film below:

Mel Gibson Is ‘The Colonel’

You can’t buy a good movie star. Well, you can – but it will cost you a cool $25 million.

However, true movie stars rarely come along anymore. The last proper movie star to come our way must have been Will Smith and that was almost 15 years ago.

Mel Gibson is a real star and he’s been off our screens for seven years! Well this year he returns in Edge of Darkness and The Colonel.

Now we can show you a trailer for the epic tale of love and revenge that follows the life of the legendary Colonel Sanders (of KFC fame). The biopic is from the producers of Braveheart and Step Up 2: The Streets.

Check it out below – it’s finger lickin’ good!

Mel Gibson Returns To The Big Screen In Edge Of Darkness

Mel Gibson Returns To The Big Screen In Edge Of Darkness

Screen legend and icon Mel Gibson will make his first appearance in front of cameras in six years in Martin Campbell’s Edge of Darkness.

Casino Royale director Campbell originally directed the 1985 BBC miniseries on which the film is based. The Departed scripter William Monahan has penned the script.

Variety reports that:

“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.”

There are many differing opinions of Mel Gibson out there, some dislike his politics and religious beliefs, while others feel that he is a forceful screen presence and a first rate leading man.

What do I think? Read on.
