Mel's coming back strong!

Source Heat Vision: I’m so excited to see Mel Gibson coming out of semi retirement back into action in Edge of darkness. Mel Gibson is in negotiations to reteam with his Lethal Weapon scribe Shane Black for Universal’s spy thriller Cold Warrior.

Black, directing his second movie after Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, is tackling a tale in which a Cold War spy (Gibson) comes out of retirement to confront a domestic terrorism threat from Russia by teaming up with a younger agent. Charles Mondry wrote the script.

The deal is in the early stages but again, it’s great to see Mel’s comeback.
