| | Gibson has been location scouting for a movie to be shot in Mexico. | | |
Martin Campbell will direct Mel Gibson in the actor-director's first starring role since 2002's Signs. Edge is based on a British TV mini-series from the 1980s, which Campbell also directed.
"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."
Campbell directed Casino Royale.
Gibson, remember, produced and pulled Robert Downey out of the wilderness with another Brit series, the film version of The Singing Detective. He's 52 and still has some leading man years left.
Of course, he's been dogged by controversy since The Passion of the Christ came out, most recently over a suit filed by the film's screenwriter who wants a bigger share of that movie's vast profits. The writer claims Gibson lowballed him on the budget of the film and has tried to keep the movie's finances out of the public eye.
Gibson has been location scouting (Mexican sources say) for a movie to be shot in Mexico, of late. No word if this will be one he directs or one of the acting projects he has lined up for the next couple of years. |
