Robert Deniro who was recently casted as one of the leading stars for the “Edge of Darkness” film that stars Mel Gibson, pulled out of the film and quit. Shooting of the movie began Aug. 18th, Robert Deniro showed up on set the day he was scheduled to work, he just walked off before the film crew got a chance to film him.

One of Robert Deniro’s spokesman said “Sometimes things don’t work out, it’s called creative differences”. Meaning that an actor doesn’t like their work on a film.

This will probably hurt the box office. Look like our dreams of Deniro and Gibson teaming up in a film are over. Oh well. Life goes on.

Robert Deniro is close to signing a deal to star alongside Mel Gibson in “Edge of Darkness”, a film adapted from a BBC TV mini series. The film is directed by Martin Campbell and shooting begins this month in Massachussetts.

Mel Gibson plays a homicide detective whose 24 year old daughter was murdered on the front steps of his home, he assumed that he was the target, but then he investigates his daughter’s secret life and her past. Deniro will play an operative who helps cleans up the evidence.

Mel Gibson’s last acting role to the big screen was M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” way back in 2002. Mel then made a vow to stay away from acting and concentrate on directing with such films like “The Passion” and “Apocalypto”. So much for Mel’s acting retirement since he is back in leading roles again.

The question is will Mel do “Lethal Weapon 5” or “Mad Max 4”?

I don’t want another “Lethal Weapon” film but another Mad Max would be great.
