It's not easy being Mel Gibson. No, not because of that whole divorce and affair thing-- this isn't the celebrity section, people! This is all about the first image from his new film, Edge of Darkness, in which Gibson plays a homicide cop whose job gets very personal when his own daughter is murdered. As he told Empire Online, "He's a seasoned old detective," Gibson told us, "a bit hangdog. And he's in a state of shock for most of the film, because he's had tremendous trauma right at the beginning of it."

Empire is hosting the new image as well, and you can click on the smaller version below to see the full thing. Edge of Darkness, directed by Casino Royale helmer Martin Campbell, comes out at some point later this year.
