"Edge of Darkness (2009)", directed by Martin Campbell (pic is based on a 1985 BBC miniseries that Campbell directed):
(IMDB) Edge of Darkness (2009)

First story:
Mel Gibson returns for 'Darkness' - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety

Then sad news - De Niro is out :
De Niro exits 'Edge of Darkness' - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety

""Sometimes things don't work out; it's called creative differences," explained a spokesman for the actor."

Damn. I thought that we would see Gibson and De Niro together... I wonder what happened? I mean it´s not that De Niro is *that* picky with his roles and directors..

It has nothing to do with being picky, but probably like they stated "creative differences".

Thought Gibson made a pretty good comeback with Apocalypto. That was a very good movie.

That was directing, this film has the comeback of Mel Gibson as an actor.

Never go out with anyone who thinks Fellini is a type of cheese

This'll be Gibson's first starring role since "Signs" 6 years ago.

I like Gibson, both in front of and behind the camera. In both cases, he's a pretty unique brand. His rather, er, "unique" views aside, it'd be hard to argue that he's not one of the greats. And Casino Royale got me a lot more interested in what Martin Campbell does next.

Unless it was the Deniro who's showed up recently in movies like Meet the Parents.

Deniro really seems to have been phoning it in for a while. Oh well.

It will be great to see Gibson back. Bring it on.

Death to PG-13! And now death to DVNR too!!

Well said Adam. Totally agree. Gibson is one of the greats. I look forward to this...

Re: Mel Gibson "comeback" - Edge of Darkness (2009)"

Ray Winstone is now replacing De Niro. Not bad news at all, great actor.

Some speculation/rumors here ("Why Robert De Niro left"):
Why Robert De Niro left Mel Gibson’s ’Edge’ - BostonHerald.com

This "unprepared"-rumor at least sounds bogus. De Niro unprepared? I kinda doubt it.

Well, with Gibson and Winstone, this can´t be all bad.

Other small story (about the shoot) here:
