Mel Gibson and Leonardo DiCaprio working on a film together seems like an odd combination, but it’s happening. According to BFDealmemo, the Oscar winning director will team up with DiCaprio for an upcoming Viking movie. This means William Wallace will be directing Howard Hughes while wearing a horn hat, or at least that’s my visual of it.
A trailer has finally been released for Martin Campbell‘s latest film, Edge of Darkness. The film stars Mel Gibson as a former Boston detective whose daughter is murdered, causing him to take matters into his own hands by searching for her killer. The screenplay was written by Oscar winning scribe William Monahan (The Departed), and looks like a worthy follow up to his previous work.

The British drama London Boulevard just got infused with some more European flare. The film is the directorial debut of Oscar winning screenwriter William Monahan, and currently stars Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell. According to RopeofSilicon three more British actors have just been added to the cast in the form of Ray Winstone (above), Anna Friel, and David Thewlis.
It looks as if someone’s decided to take a risk and invest in Mel Gibson’ s career again. Last November Gibson wrapped a project entitled Edge of Darkness, which he shot with Ray Winstone and Danny Huston. For months the film has been looking for a distribution home, and finally it’s found one. According to Variety, Warner Brothers has decided to take the plunge and has acquired the rights to the film. The feature is based on the BBC miniseries of the same name, which”centered on a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Dept, whose only child is murdered on the steps of his home.”
