The end of the week brings us many interesting news stories. Today we have updates on the late-actress Brittany Murphy, Harry Potter, and Mel Gibson, whose acting come back has hit a rough patch. One of today’s stories even include a man on the verge of losing his job, but you’ll understand the entertainment value when you read more about it. Let’s get to it…
Edge of Darkness marks the return of Oscar winner Mel Gibson to the big screen. He’s been active behind the scenes directing such films as Apocalypto but this is the first time he’s stepped in front of the camera in seven and a half years. In Edge of Darkness he plays a grief stricken cop looking for answers regarding his daughter’s murder. What appears to be a senseless act of violence barely touches the web of lies and deception brewing beneath the surface…
It’s been almost 8 years since Mel Gibson has headlined a major film, and he’s gearing up to make a return in this weekend’s, Edge of Darkness. The film is directed by Martin Campbell with a screenplay by Oscar winning writer William Monahan (The Departed). It centers on a father seeking revenge for his murdered daughter who’s willing to do whatever it takes to make her killers pay.
It’s been a while since Gibson has talked to the press about a film that he’s actually acting in, which means we had to play a game of catch up. He discussed his latest role in Darkness, but also gave up the juice on his upcoming film The Beaver, and that rumored Leonardo DiCaprio Viking epic. Even though it’s been a long time coming, after over 30 years in the business Gibson has grown personally, professionally, and is ready to move on…
Mel Gibson’s latest film Edge of Darkness hits theaters tomorrow and the award winning actor already has a new project on the horizon. According to THR, Gibson is reteaming with Lethal Weapon writer Shane Black for a spy thriller called, Cold Warrior. Am I the only one getting Braveheart vibes from that title?
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.
Check out the first trailer for Edge of Darkness…
Sure, the title is a bit distracting but it’s the truth. Mel Gibson has been running around town with his beaver, and some people have caught a few snapshots of it. Gibson stars in the upcoming Jodie Foster film, The Beaver about a man who uses a hand puppet to communicate with others. If you think the premise is ridiculous, wait until you see the photos.
Take a look at Gibson and his friend, the beaver…
Anton Yelchin appeared in two of this summer’s most anticipated films Star Trek and Terminator Salvation. After co-starring in such massive franchise hits, what’s a young actor to do? According to Empire, Yelchin has signed on for a role in Oscar winner Jodie Foster’s upcoming feature, The Beaver. The project will have Foster pulling double duty as both a director and a co-star.
The star of the critically acclaimed film, The Hurt Locker has been gaining some serious momentum in recent weeks. Jeremy Renner just signed on to star in the Ben Affleck film The Town, and now there are rumors that he may take over the role that made Mel Gibson a phenomenon, Mad Max! According to Empire, the actor may be set to star as the lead in Mad Max 4, which is currently titled, Fury Road.
