Acalis Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It's official, there WILL be a Lethal Weapon 5 afterall! Click here to read about it. Lethal Weapon 5 Sep. 26, 2008 Source: EW by: James Thoo It is being reported today that LETHAL WEAPON 5 is a go, so long as Mel Gibson signs on. Gibson of course is currently off shooting EDGE OF DARKNESS. Shane Black, who gave man-birth to the franchise way back when, has penned a lengthy treatment for the movie that involves bringing in a couple of young NYPD cops. There's no word as to whether or not Danny Glover has signed on but I think it's safe to say he has since what the fuck else is he doing. Right off the bat: I'm only down with this if Shane Black writes and directs. If not, screw it. Also, word to the wise: if you want Gibson to agree you know what you have to do. Just man up and make the villains, ya know, Jewish. A shady cabal of Jewish businessmen. It's nothing if not fresh. Also, I hate the idea of two young NYPD cops. Didn't we learn our lesson with Chris Rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Whoa whoa whoa! Chris Rock didn't exactly elevate the franchise, but he didn't hurt anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aartemys Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've liked all the Lethal Weapons...no complaints on my end. I'll go see it if they make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Chris Rock was a bit gimmicky but he worked. My question is will we see Joe Pesci return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 If we're lucky, maybe Chris Rock's character is killed off in the beginning. Of course that leaves Danny Glover's grand kid without a father, but that could be the dramatic motivation, and we have less Chris Rock. Pesci's character did it!

Iambaytor Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Chris Rock won't return, he's not desperate enough. And his character wasn't that bad, but they'll probably write it off the same way they wrote off McClane's wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 For me, the best thing about the Lethal Weapon movies is the chemistry among all the cast members and their weird little family that grows with each film. Not only would Glover and Gibson have to return but so would Renee Russo, Chris Rock, and Joe Pesci before I got really excited about this.

Iambaytor Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Joe Pesci definately, Rene Russo would be good but if they felt like doing a Sam Trautman/Henry Jones Sr. I could live with it, and Chris Rock I don't really care either way. I doubt they'd get him back even if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acalis Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 They gotta bring everyone back, hell even Chris Rock! I loved the chemistry between him and Joe Pesci in the last movie. They also have to bring back Murphy (forget his real name), he always cracked me up whenever he said "I don't give a fuck!" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
