Robert De Niro was set to star alongside Mel Gibson in the new flick Edge of Darkness.
It’s a dramatic movie directed by Martin Campbell which began shooting last month.
De Niro was cast to play an operative sent to clean up some evidence pertaining to the murder of a young woman. Blah blah. Another tough guy role for him. BORING!
As for Gibson, he’s playing the victim’s father and is also a homicide detective.
However, things change quickly in Hollywood and De Niro has dropped out!
De Niro actually arrived on set this week and apparently couldn’t even last seven days.
A spokesman for De Niro simply said, “Sometimes things don’t work out; it’s called creative differences.”
It’s actually called being a Diva. If you’ve already signed on to the part, why would you drop out once filming started?
The movie will continue filming, though. They’re just going to film around De Niro’s scenes until they find a new actor.
Wonder what really happened!
