Mel and DeNiro????


It’s all supposed to be stealthy and secret, but Robert DeNiro is this close to signing on to co-star in the made-in-Mass. movie “Edge of Darkness.”

The crime thriller, based on a popular BBC miniseries, stars Mel Gibson as a seasoned Boston police detective investigating the death of his activist daughter, played by Aussie actress Bojana Novakovic.

The creepy flick, which will be directed by Martin Campbell and written by Oscar-winning “The Departed” screenscribe William Monahan, will shoot in and around Boston and the Berkshires from Aug. 18 to December.
