Shooting at the scene of the crime where Robert De Niro literally dropped the ball
before leaving the made-in-Boston film "Edge of Darkness" over "creative differences,"
Affleck's "The Company Men" will hopefully have better luck with its early golf-course
scenes.
While De Niro backed out of "Edge of Darkness," the Lynn golf course and its amazing
views will be on display in Mel Gibson's flick, starring British Powerhouse Ray Winstone
in De Niro's place, when the film hits screens in November.
