Lethal Weapon 5? “I am Getting too Old for this…”
It’s being reported by TrackingB that legendary screenwriter, Shane Black, has written a script for Lethal Weapon 5 and handed it over to the franchise’s producer Joel Silver. Moreover, the guys pictured above are said to be interested in reprising their roles as LAPD officers Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh. Over at Coming Soon they posted the following…
This time, homicidal Riggs (Mel Gibson) is about to retire, but pulls Murtaugh (Danny Glover) out of retirement to solve one final case, before they both officially head off into the sunset.
No further info was made available. Wow! creative, isn’t that the plot of all the movies, somebody is retiring and they get pulled in for one last case?
The fourth Lethal Weapon film was released 10 years ago and managed to gross $128 million domestically. I am gonna bet that Richard Donner could come back to direct this but should this movie happen? I mean I love the first 4 movies but the fourth film really had issues with annoyance, especially in the “I am too old for this shit!” category. I mean, now, Danny Glover is freakin old and Mel Gibson is hated by everyone in Hollywood. So my question is does the current Hollywood audience really need this movie? regardless of the 2 actors wanting to do it and Shane Black writing it.
