Mel-low Out

Robert De Niro is set to join Mel Gibson in the American feature film remake of the acclaimed 1985 British mini-series "Edge of Darkness" reports Variety.



Gibson plays Thomas Craven, a by the book homicide detective for the Boston Police Dept. and single father, whose 24-year old daughter is killed just outside of his home. He assumes he was the target, but his investigation leads in another direction and uncovers his daughter's double life.

De Niro will play an operative sent to clean up the evidence.

William Monahan is writing the adaptation .

Martin Campbell who helmed the original series will also direct.

De Niro and Gibson make an interesting pairing as good vs bad...Gibson's been under the radar since the 06 traffic stop. Will he rebound? While he's working with great folks-I doubt I'll ever be totally in his corner ever again....We shall see.

Shooting begins this month in Massachusetts.
