Mel Gibson will star in “Edge of Darkness,” a big-screen adaptation of the 1985 BBC miniseries. Martin Campbell (“GoldenEye,” “Casino Royale”), who directed the miniseries, will direct the movie version from a screenplay by William Monahan (“The Departed”). It’s Gibson’s first starring project since “Signs” and “We Were Soldiers,” both of which came out in 2002. Variety describes thusly:

Gibson will play a straitlaced police investigator whose activist daughter is killed. He plunges into the case and uncovers systemic corruption that led to his daughter's death.
