LETHAL WEAPON 5 IS STILL A POSSIBILITY

August 7th 2007 02:28
Mel Gibson


You probably know that Warner Bros Pictures have been trying to bring the fifth instalment in the Lethal Weapon series for a while now, but apparently Mel Gibson is simply not interested. But, now that Bruce Willis has returned for one more Die Hard film, Sylvester Stallone returned for one more Rocky and Rambo and Harrison Ford for one more Indiana Jones, film execs are back in talks with Gibson to convince him to reprise his role of Martin Riggs.


Speaking to Moviehole, a Warner Bros. insider revealed that "there's more 'Lethal' talk. Apparently the whole trend of resurrecting old action heroes, like John McClane and John Rambo has spurred them on. Twelve months after Gibson turned down the offer to do a fifth one, they're trying again.

Director Richard Donner also expressed interest in the project quite recently, having said: "It's up to Mel. If he says 'yes' then there's another Lethal Weapon. I have a great story, I'd love to do it and put Lethal Weapon to bed."

So it seems it’s all down to Mel, it seems everyone else is keen. Maybe he will want to keep up with the series reprisal trend that's happening at the moment.

Oh GAWD no......

Neither of them can possibly feel it's a realistic prospect...... Isn't Danny Glover walking with a stick yet?

Maybe now Danny Glover will mean it when he says the line, "I'm getting' too old for this_ _ _ _!!

Maybe Donner and Co. should do a "Final" installment to the series. Only this time, Riggs and Murtagh need to get killed off in a blaze of herioic glory so that people will not need another sequel. Lethal Weapon has to be next to Butch and Sundance for the best buddy movie of all time. Hard to top the original in any series, but these guys have done a good job of it. It's time to let them go, let's advance them to a "Higher Plain" in #5...
