De Niro quits Campbell project

Robert De Niro and former James Bond director Martin Campbell have fallen out over "creative differences".

The actor has quit Campbell's 'Edge of Darkness', less than a month into shooting and just days after arriving on the set in Massachusetts.

A spokesman for De Niro says: "Sometimes things don't work out; it's called creative differences."

The movie legend was slated to play a clean-up agent opposite Mel Gibson in the drama, which is a revamp of a 1980s TV miniseries Campbell directed for the BBC.

The filmmaker is now hunting for a replacement for De Niro.
