Synopsis:

“Edge of Darkness” is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business.  Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father.  When his only child, twenty-four year-old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), 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, looking glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder – and to shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), who has been sent in to clean up the evidence.  Craven’s solitary search for answers about his daughter’s death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

“Edge of Darkness” is directed by Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”) and stars Academy Award® winner Mel Gibson (“Braveheart”), Ray Winstone (“The Departed”), Danny Huston (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”), Bojana Novakovic (“Drag Me to Hell”) and Shawn Roberts (“I Love You, Beth Cooper”).

A GK Films Production based on the BAFTA Award-winning BBC miniseries of the same name, “Edge of Darkness” is produced by Academy Award® winner Graham King (“The Departed,” “The Aviator,” “Gangs of New York”), King’s business partner Tim Headington and Michael Wearing (producer of the original BBC miniseries).  The screenplay is by Academy Award®-winning screenwriter William Monahan (“The Departed”) and Andrew Bovell (“Lantana”), from an original story by Troy Kennedy Martin.  The executive producers are Dan Rissner, David M. Thompson, Suzanne Warren, Gail Lyon and E. Bennett Walsh.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Phil Meheux (“Casino Royale”), Oscar®-nominated production designer Tom Sanders (“Saving Private Ryan”), Oscar®-nominated editor Stuart Baird (“Gorillas in the Mist”), Academy Award®-winning composer Howard Shore (“Lord of the Rings”) and Academy Award®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”).
