Lethal Weapon franchise star Mel Gibson is currently in talks to direct Lethal Weapon 5! The filmmaker let the news slip that he wanted to helm the movie and now sources close to him are saying he’s in talks to direct and star. No deal has been officially closed yet, but if it happens, he will step in for Richard Donner, who passed away this past July.
I guess none of those folks are actually too old for this sh*t?

PS: There are actually any number of things that can be said about reviving the LETHAL WEAPON series, Mel Gibson’s career (although HACKSAW RIDGE seems to have done wonders for that already), and/or how many photons are going to be burnt over discussing the first two. But I have to admit: I’m curious how this movie would look. It’s unlikely to be anything like the first four in the series.
