Lethal Weapon V

[Scarlet Spider]

Oh no.

RIP

 

[Slick]

Wow RIP

 

[DarkKnight]

I really can't wait for this! I only hope that they film it and score it old school like the previous films. I miss the not giving a crap about being PC and the blues guitar and Saxophone music to set the tone of scenes and things of that nature. I miss films like this in general. they've pretty much become extinct.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

welp, the only way they should move forward with this project is if Shane Black directs

 

[Doctor Jones]

He has a great pitch for it and it would bring the series back to the roots of the original while still telling a cool new story.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I think the only reason Mel Gibson and Danny Glover signed on was to work with Richard Donner one last time. Wasn't the story for the fifth one his? With his passing, it's unlikely this will happen unless someone else was planning to direct.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Highly doubt this film will move forward without Donner

 

[samsnee]

Nor should it. The movies were a product of its time. No need to revisit it now.

 

[Gold Samurai]

There's also no need to do the grandson and son of Murtaugh type of storyline either. Also the TV series couldn't capture the same feeling as the movies.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Also the TV series couldn't capture the same feeling as the movies.

That's cause there's only one Mel Gibson/Danny Glover magic.

If by any chance this movie still happens even with Donner's passing, I have to wonder how they'll handle the ages of the characters. Because even though Danny Glover was 40/41 when the first one came out, it was Murtaugh's 50th birthday and while Mel Gibson was 30/31 there, it's implied that Riggs was in his late 30s/early 40s.

He was interested in doing ‘Lethal Weapon 5,’ and I spoke to him about six months ago and they were working hard on it. It would have been amazing to work with him. I said to him, ‘if you think I’m doing any of the moves that I did back then, come watch me try to get out of my car.’ I was clear that I was not going to be doing any of those kicks again. He said, ‘don’t worry, we’re going to make you captain of the police force on this one. You can sit behind a desk.’

[Gothamsknight]

I'm down for this.

 

[Sawyer]

Seems more trouble than it’s worth tbh.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

I can get behind this

Hopefully they’re able to get Joe Pesci back. Just wouldn’t feel the same without him considering he’s come out in the last 3 movies

 

[Slick]

**** why not if it’s what Donner wanted.

 

[DarkKnight88]

To be honest, It’ll probably turn out to be a much better film than what 90-year-old Richard Donner could have done.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Franchises never die!

 

[Sawyer]

Honestly, even looking past the Gibson of it all… didn’t 4 (which is over twenty years old) feel like an end to the whole thing?

Like I get that IP is everything now, but Murtaugh should be in his ****ing eighties now.

 

[Marvolo]

I'm ok with this if they let Mel make it with an R rating. I dont want a restrained Mel Gibson.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I'm down.

It's Richard Donner's baby but him and Mel Gibson we're close. If Mel's got one in him, why not?

A much better choice than Shane Black. For sure.

 

[Marvolo]

Buddy cop noir stories are Shane Black's bread and butter.

 

[Gothamsknight]

It'll be interesting to see how this film is in Gibsons hands. He's a damn good director.

 

[Alien Anal]

Would yall want this to be the Logan of LW films?
