While one can only guess what caused Robert De Niro's feelings to change towards Edge of Darkness, the actor took the necessary steps to get booted from production.
Edge of Darkness? So Over It...
While Edge of Darkness began filming in Massachusetts back on August 18th, Robert De Niro made sure not to arrive on set until this week. Wha?
Yep. Well. See you later.
"Sometimes things don't work out; it's called creative differences," explained a spokesman for the actor.
Thanks to these creative differences, Robert De Niro will no longer be involved with the film's production. Director Martin Campbell will shoot around De Niro's character's scenes until a replacement is found.
De Niro had signed to play an operative sent to clean up the evidence in the murder of a young woman. Mel Gibson stars as the victim's father, a homicide detective for the Boston Police Dept. who uncovers her secret life, a corporate cover-up and government collusion.
Danny Huston, Shawn Roberts and Bojana Novakovic also star.
