(“…what I do have is a particular set of skills. I will find Jew, and I will kill Jew.”)
That’s right, ya fackin’ losahs, it’s time fer anothah fackin’ Bawston cawp movie. This the first trailer for Edge of Darkness, from Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, written by William Monahan (The Depahted) and Andrew Bovell. Based on a BBC television series from 1985, it stars Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone, who took over for Robert DeNiro, who left during the shooting because of “creative differences.”
As homicide detective Thomas Craven investigates the death of his activist daughter, he uncovers not only her secret life, but a corporate cover-up and government collusion that attracts an agent [Winstone] tasked with cleaning up the evidence.
Considering the crappy movies DeNiro’s been doing for the last few years, it’s hard to imagine him even giving a sh-t enough to differ with someone creatively. What would his argument even be? “Whoa whoa whoa, this is not how we did things on Meet the Fockers. This is bush league, you guys, seriously.”

The death of his activist daughter? Didn’t he teach her that women should be seen and not heard? He brought this on himself.
I hope Officer Sugartits has a cameo.
Secret life? I bet it involves clown porn.
Gibson’s cop leads a task force investigating the activities of neighborhood delis.
I think that “creative differences” in DeNiro speak means “I was gonna slit that bitches throat if he called me sugar tits one more time”
Wait, Sugah Tits. My bad
The big secret about her activist life is that she was a dead lay and that’s what ultimately led to her demise.
JHC, stop talking about your Mom. Seriously.
This looks retahded.
GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER!!!
Chino, that’s Dahtah
My Mom is a great lay, Eib. And a fantastic kisser, BTK.
Yeah, I bet your Dad says you are the best kisser in the whole 4th grade, right? And he never pays his hotel bills?
Short version of the movie: Cop uncovers that his daughter was secretly a Yankees fan! “Eh, da bitch is bettah off dead!”
Eibz – Daednu has a message.
There must be no crime in Boston since every member of the community is either a cop or a cop’s family or a mathematician janitor according to every movie set in Boston.
P.S. I’m filling in for Matt over at Warming Glow, btk.
Robo, there is also a large community of hipster scum if memory serves me correctly.
So Warming Glow is going to be funny this week? Awesome.
Some executive at Dunkin Donuts just realized the product placement potential here and shit a chahklit crullah.
Pretending to be Irish is all fun and games until someone gets pregnant or loses an eye.
The accents suck…….
…and I’ve never seen a three decker with rooms that big…..
….I bet this was filmed in Medffa….
The Edge of Darkness? I liked the prequel, The Other Side of Darkness. Great coma flick.
Man i fucking HATE Boston. Bars close @ 2 but the T only runs til midnight? on a WEEKEND? no thanks.
Edge of Darkness was one of the great tv dramas from the 80s. It was very melancholy, very British and very much concerned with the nuclear fears of the time. I just can’t see this translating at all.
Gibson’s character will undoubtedly get suspended, Gibson will reply with “Give me back my gun!”
