Washington
(ANI):
Robert
De
Niro
has
quit
Martin
Campbell-directed
drama
Edge
of
Darkness
due
to
'creative
differences.'
The
movie's
shooting
started
less
than
a
month
ago,
and
the
actor
announced
leaving
the
project
just
days
after
arriving
on
the
set
in
Massachusetts.
"Sometimes
things
don't
work
out;
it's
called
creative
differences," Variety
quoted
a
spokesman
for
the
actor,
as
saying.
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.
The
movie
is
a
revamp
of
a
1980s
TV
miniseries
Campbell
directed
for
the
BBC.
The
filmmaker
is
now
hunting
for
a
replacement
for
De
Niro.
