Gibson Returns to Silver Screen in Corporate Conspiracy Film
Actor Mel Gibson has returned to the Hollywood limelight by headlining a motion picture that chronicles the dangerous world of corporate cover-ups.
Mel Gibson has made his acting comeback in a motion picture that delves into the dark and sinister world of corporate cover-ups, entitled Edge of Darkness.
According to an article on Reuters.com, “The revenge movie has Gibson playing Thomas Craven, a Boston homicide detective, whose investigation into the murder of his 24-year-old daughter, his only child, unveils murky corporate wheeling, dealing and government collusion.”
“The dark side of large companies is a particularly relevant theme now given what we've witnessed from large corporations and their participation in the economic crisis,” Gibson told reporters.
The film, which opened in theaters on Friday, is already a box office smash and due to be released in Spain on Feb. 26.
The film is based on a BBC miniseries of the same name, which garnered widespread commendation when it aired in 1985. Its director, Martin Campbell, who also helmed the first Daniel Craig-starring James Bond film, 2006’s Casino Royale, was given the honor of also helming the silver screen version of the renowned miniseries.
