LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Danny Huston, Shawn Roberts and Bojana Novakovic have joined the Mel Gibson-starring thriller "Edge of Darkness." "Darkness," which Martin Campbell is directing for Warner Bros., centers on a veteran cop (Gibson) whose only grown-up child (Novakovic) is murdered on the steps of his home.

Robert De Niro is also in the film, cast as a CIA employee.
William Monahan and Andrew Bovell wrote the screenplay.
Huston just completed shooting Fox's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and will next be seen in "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People."
