Mel Gibson’s Edge of Darkness Trailer and Poster
We have added the first trailer for director Martin Campbell’s upcoming thriller, “Edge of Darkness“.
In “Edge of Darkness” Mel Gibson plays Thomas Craven a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, 24-year-old Emma, is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her killing. His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder — and to shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

Farrell, who just won a Golden Globe for “In Bruges,” will play a South London criminal named Mitchell, who after release from prison tries to give up the gangster life and goes to work as a handyman for a reclusive actress (Keira Knightley).
“The actress is pursued by photographers, she takes medications and slowly retreats from the world, shutting herself away until this man from the wrong side of the tracks comes into her life,” said one of the film’s executives.”It’s like a beauty and the beast tale.”
The film is set to start shooting this summer in London and surrounding areas.
