Lethal Weapon 5 Becoming a Possibility?

Source:  TrackingB.com
Movie PictureMaybe they're not too old for this s*&t after all... TrackingB.com, a script-tracking site, has reported that original Lethal Weapon screenwriter Shane Black has written a script for Lethal Weapon 5 and is shopping it to producer Joel Silver.

The tracking site noted that the franchise's stars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are keen on returning to their roles as Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, but no contracts have been signed.

The story reportedly revolves around Riggs, who's ready to retire, but calls on his old partner, Murtaugh, to come out of retirement and solve one last case before retiring together.

We'll have more on this story as soon as more information becomes available.

Hollywood needs some new ideas. All they make anymore are sequals and remakes

well i ask the question,.... why not? i loved the L/W movies and would pay to see another. they are good entertaining movies.

August 7th, 2008 8:17am
saying "hollywood is realy out of ideas..... " is such a fresh idea...

But anyway I see no point on this. The 4th LW ended in a great way. There's no need for another one. (By the way I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy more of Riggs and Murtaugh)

August 7th, 2008 7:50am
i would def go see this, no frontin all the LW were bad ass movies its like die hard just a overall good movie so count me in for this one

i'd watch it, i grew up watching these guys.
the first lethal weapon was one of the first movies i could be heard touting quotes from as a kid.

plus if the could get joe pesci out of retirement for a few more minutes that would be awesome, i love that guy.

"i havent killed YOU yet"

I beg to differ - "We are way too old for this shit!"
Anyway Mel is a great director he doesn't need to rekindle his acting career. Danny Glover is still around as well and still acting strong!
  (Delete)
August 7th, 2008 6:01am
Hey now Mr. Danny Glover fought the freakin Predator and kicked ass and Jet Li, he can do it! haha!
This should be interesting, I dont know if it could work, but I would love to see it.

August 7th, 2008 5:25am
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... I'd give it a try, remember Rambo proved everyone wrong with his 4th movie, so did John McClane with the 4th die hard... and i'm absolutely sure (as an 80's action mives fan) That these guys can make something good outta this.
  (Delete)
August 7th, 2008 4:22am
mel can do it glover..not so sure
  (Delete)
August 7th, 2008 4:08am
hehehehe this is great. I love the lethal weapons series... one more, shore why not!
  (Delete)
August 7th, 2008 3:50am
But I would love it anyway.. "Where are ya Riggs!!?!?!"
  (Delete)
August 7th, 2008 3:49am
like 2 months ago movieweb posted an interview with danny glover who specifically stated when asked about the possibility of doing Lethal Weapon 5 that he was completely against it and would definately NOT be coming back should a 5th get made.

I like to see the old gang in action again. I hope Joe Pesci wil reprise his role of Leo Gets.

I guess traveling in space and time really does bring back the 80's

August 6th, 2008 8:14pm
Are you all KIDDING? We just barely got Stallone doing Rambo AND Rocky. If that geriatric ol meatbag can do it... these guys can!
  (Delete)
August 6th, 2008 8:10pm
maybe
  (Delete)
August 6th, 2008 7:49pm
I can see Mel Gibson pulling this off, but not Danny Glover.
  (Delete)
August 6th, 2008 7:28pm
hollywood is realy out of ideas.....
  (Delete)
August 6th, 2008 7:26pm
Ehh, I'M too old for this shit
