Edge Of Darkness - Mel Gibson and Ray Winston interview

dge of Darkness is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business. Mel Gibson plays Thomas Craven, a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, 24-year-old Emma, is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter's secret life and her killing. His investigation leads him into a dangerous world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder and to a shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh, played by Ray Winstone, who has been sent in to clean up the evidence.
This is Mel Gibson's first on screen role in seven years. He's been making tabloid headlines having been charged with D.U.I's and making racial slurs in public.
Tribute's Bonnie Laufer spoke with Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone in Los Angeles about dealing with the emotional material they were given to work with given that they are both fathers themselves. Although the film deals with some pretty heavy material, Gibson did his best to keep things light on the set. Bonnie asked Gibson and Winstone who they thought might win as the best prankster had George Clooney co-starred in the film alongside Mel, who's known for pulling pranks.

@mickmagiver you are right on the mark with your comment. I wonder how Mel's detractors would do trying to act in the parts Mel's done so well ! .......... this one and braveheart !!!! for instance !

[mrboppman1]

Rays performance was great, subtle and enigmatic.. Mels was was brilliant !

[mickmagiver]

@SrPonsonby well remakes are hard to pull off, maybe they shouldnt be done at all....

but mel gibson is the best actor/director i have ever seen, and i hope he keeps making movies, so dont start this shite saying he has no talent, the best fiom iv ever seen was braveheart which was writtin/directed/staring gibson. also Apocalypto was a masterpiece directed by mel....

so get your facts straight before you write off someone who has helped the industry in many ways...

[SrPonsonby]

to ray's and mel's partly rehabilitation one must admit, that the interviewer is an utterly stupid tart!

they somehow seem to deserve each other. a lot of palaver - zero information concerning the movie / the story!

[SrPonsonby]

disgusting "interview"!

neither of them have a clue at all, what this great material from troy kennedy martin is about.

that conceited and boring guy, mel gibson, should stop acting in movies and concentrate on holding coffee cups into the camera, because that seems to be the only talent in him, which is left!

his behaviour is an insult to the spectator.

there was no need at all to make a terrible remake, as the original mini-series from 1985. bob peck outplays gibson easily. 

[Patrikuse]

Ray Winstone is amazing.
