Hey folks, Harry here with Some very cool news. I wasn't able to attend the press screening of Mel's latest acting in EDGE OF DARKNESS, but Father Geek says it is up there in the top 5 Mel Gibson performances over his entire career, so looks like Friday, I'll be seeing this!

Well, amongst Father Geek's favorite news items to hit yesterday, his 65th Birthday btw, was the news that Mel Gibson was in talks to star as a Cold War spy, that comes out of retirement to work with a New School spy, all out to thwart evil from the realm of Putin.

The script was written by Chuck Mondry, and the helmer - for the first time - NOT - from his own writing is SHANE BLACK... The Man! This could be a truly great film if that script is up to snuff... and if the script isn't, I have the utmost confidence in her Director. Woo Hoo, Shane Black is directing again, for the first time since KISS KISS BANG BANG, which to me, was the turnaround for Robert Downey Jr's career - in terms of awesome badassery! What do you good folks think? For extra details - go Variety.
