These are the movies opening in wide release this Friday. Mel Gibson returns in “Edge of Darkness” and Kristen stars in the romantic comedy, “When in Rome“.

Edge of Darkness

Synopsis: CASINO ROYALE filmmaker Martin Campbell directs a remake of his own BBC miniseries with this thriller. Mel Gibson stars as Thomas Craven, a man who has spent years as a detective in Boston. When his own daughter is killed near the door of his home, Craven realizes that her death is only one piece of a puzzle filled with corruption and conspiracy, and it falls to him to discover who is behind the crime. Written by Oscar-winner William Monahan (THE DEPARTED) and screenwriter Andrew Bovell (LANTANA), EDGE OF DARKNESS also stars Ray Winstone and Danny Huston.

Cast: Mel Gibson, Danny Huston, Ray Winstone, Shawn Roberts, Denis O’Hare, Bojana Novakovic; Directed By: Martin Campbell

When in Rome

Synopsis: Kristen Bell (HEROES, VERONICA MARS) stars in this comedy as a young woman with an enviable problem: she has multiple men after her heart! She takes a trip to Italy to escape New York City, and there she makes the questionable decision to take coins from a fountain of love. Soon, a number of men (played by Danny DeVito, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard, and Will Arnett) are a-wooing, and she doesn’t know what to do. Making things even tougher is the presence of a journalist (Josh Duhamel), who seems to display a real affection for her.
