Ray Winstone will replace Robert De Niro in The Edge of Darkness according to Variety.
You may recall, De Niro left the film some days into shooting after suffering from “creative differences”, which haven’t been fully disclosed.
Martin Campbell’s movie, based on his own late 80’s Brit mini-series marks Mel Gibson’s first on screen return in six years as a detective whose daughter is shot dead at his home. Ray Winstone plays the operative who attempts to clean up the mess.
Danny Huston, Shawn Roberts and Boja Novakovic co-star.
Shooting is already well under-way in Massachusetts.
Discuss: Does anyone else feel like Ray Winstone has become the “go to guy” for any kind of adult themed crime/thriller? He has done a terrific job of pushing himself into the top tier of actors chosen for these films.
