Tired of reboots, remakes, and revivals yet? Well, hold your fucking horses, kemosabe. Because weโre about to get another one for the agesโฆ
Lethal Weapon 5 has been confirmed complete with original cast members, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, as well as the original director, Richard Donner.
News of this production recently broke in an episode of The Hollywood Reporterโs โProducer Roundtableโ series by Two Popes producer, Dan Lin. Though you need not worry about the franchise being milked any further after this instalment, as it sounds like this will be more of a grand send-off than a desperate cash grab.
Weโre trying to make the last Lethal Weapon movie,โ says Lin.
โAnd Dick Donnerโs coming back. The original cast is coming back. And itโs just amazing. The story itself is very personal to him. Mel and Danny are ready to go, so itโs about the script.โ
Lethal Weapon 5 will mark the first release since the hit franchiseโs last film in over twenty years. In addition to Gibson and Glover as the iconic duo of Riggs and Murtaugh, the world was also treated to a kick-ass performance from Jet Li.
How kick-ass? Watch the original audience reaction to Liโs action scene below (recorded during Lethal Weapon 4โs opening weekend).
More to come on this.
