Trailer and One-Sheet For Edge of Darkness Unveiled
Thu, October 15, 2009 
Regardless of your views (politics, religion, film, American Idol results, etc.), we can all agree on one thing. Mel Gibson hasn't been the same since The Passion of the Christ. I mean people used to love the guy. He was just a regular Joe who happened to be a movie-star headlining films that folks went to see in droves. One DUI and a drunken "The Jews control everything!" rant later, he lost us. Gibson became a member of a race of long-beloved stars who lost that touch with the general public becoming the butt of many of late-night jokes.
Same thing happened to Tom Cruise, as we all remember. After much hard work (most likely on the part of his publicist), he went back to his "Nice Guy" phase. But more importantly, he appeared to films that people actually paid money to see - his cameo in Tropic Thunder and the Bryan Singer-helmed WWII thriller Valkyrie. Now he's back in everyone's good graces.
And to his credit, Gibson has been attempting the same. He's made his public apologies (quiet a few times, in fact) and even did The Colonel that everyone enjoyed. I dare you not to laugh during that fake trailer. Now comes the ultimate test - old crazy Mel has a new film coming out in the form of Edge of Darkness. Will people check it out?
Yahoo! Movies has the trailer (embedded below for your viewing pleasure) and Coming Soon has the film's theatrical one-sheet.
