Gibson is back

Mel Gibson has signed up to star in Edge of Darkness, his first leading role since Signs in 2002. The film is based on a classic BBC miniseries about a police investigator who discovers a web of corruption surrounding the death of his daughter. Martin Campbell, who directed the original series, is behind the camera for the movie.
Gibson has kept himself strictly off the celluloid for the last six years, concentrating on directing instead. We wouldn't dream of suggesting that his public exile had anything to do with that unfortunate business with the drunk driving and the anti-semitism. In any case, Mel is back. But is the world ready for him?
