After seven years away and one epically hatey meltdown, Mel Gibson's big-screen comeback finally has a studio backer. Warner Bros. on Wednesday acquired the domestic rights to Edge of Darkness , featuring Gibson as a Boston detective grappling with his only child's murder. Martin Campbell directed, ...
