Screenwriter Shane Black spoke with Moviehole and said that even though Black has already written the script he doesn’t think that there will be a Lethal Weapon 5. And rightfully so, there is no reason to go through all the trouble of making a new Lethal Weapon movie when it’s original stars aren’t physically able to handle all the action required by an action film. Finally screenwriters and production studios have decided to accept things for what they are and stop making sequels to dead series…..Thank God….Mr.Black you are appreciated.
Even if Lethal Weapon’s original staring cast members Mel Gibson and Danny Glover were physically capable of taking on such a role without the movie losing it’s action packed edge, Mel Gibson has wiped his hands of his role as Sergent Martin Riggs. Last October, Richard Donnor was quoted:
“Mel turned it down. I would like to think that Mel turned it down because I wasn’t involved. Knowing Mel, I would like to think that. Would that be the kind of thing he does? It sure would be.”
If Mel doesn’t want this film to happen I’m pretty sure it won’t happen. No offense to the other cast members but Mel Gibson and Danny Glover made this series and to have a sequal without either one couldn’t be considered a part of the Lethal Weapon series.

I just got finished watching Push…… Not what I was expecting. I mean I have a fatal attraction to movies so I’ll watch just about anyone, but this one is pushing it… The plot takes a while to develop and characters pop up all over the place. Honestly it reminded me of Jumper, some superhuman race is being hunted by some super secret agency. I found myself drifting in and out of conscientious during this movie. But all is not lost; the actors make the film actually worthwhile and bearable.
Djimon Hounsou, Dakota Fanning, the always sexy Ming-Na, and Chris Evans all gave outstanding performances. It just goes to show that a good movie needs both a good plot as well as a good cast. Don’t get me wrong the film was decent but that’s it decent. So if you have nothing else to do with one of your evenings, why not watch it. It’d probably be a good waste of time. That being so i gotta give this one a 7.5/10. Below is a short summary provided by IMDB.
A group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities are hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency. They must utilize their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever.
So remember sitting in your high school history class listening to the teacher bore everyone to death while lecturing on greek mythology, and if your anything like me you’d much rather watch about it than read about it. Now don’t get me wrong it’s most defiantly an intriguing subject, but if my teacher was more like Chris Columbus and the crew at 1492 Pictures I might have stayed awake.
