…or perhaps it still will be.
Put as much faith into this as you like, but while being interviewed by IGN for Quarantine, actor Columbus Short says that not only has he been approached by Joel Silver (not Shane Black!) to be part of the fifth Lethal Weapon film, but that the project has actually been fast-tracked.
That might be true, and it might not. But if that is the case, will Shane Black will end up in the director’s chair? He’s got Cold Warrior happening at Universal, and if this is something Silver is prepping to go quickly (i.e. before Mel Gibson changes his mind, assuming he’s even provisionally agreed to do it) then we might see someone else helming the pic.
That’s a lot of ‘if’s, but also par for the course for this bizarre project which, even with heavy involvement from Shane Black, no one (thankfully) seems to want.

I want it! If Shane Black is writing it anyway. I'd take Donner or him in the director's seat. I mean, if they're not gonna wrap it up, then fuck it. But I think there should be a better book end than "why can't we be friends."
We're all too old for this sh**.
Gee what a surprise Devin has another negative thing to say. If nobody wants it then why the fuck are you reporting on it ? If no one wants it then nobody will click on the story so what's the point of writing it… oh wait I guess someone wants it.
I want it if Shane Black wants it. If anyone could make Lethal Weapon 5 interesting and I mean anybody, it'd be Black. The guy lives to reinvent otherwise tired shit. And no I didn't like anything after LW2.
To comment #3, this was reported by Russ, not Devin.
ill agree with the above comment…. mr. unknown user, before you talk shit about someone, know who you're talking about. notice the "by russ fischer" notation at the top of the article, you fucking sick cum retard. fuck.
Whatever, the way they all write they all blend together anyways.
As long as we get more in the vein of Lethal Weapon 1 & 2 and less LW 3 & 4. Loved the first two. Could care for less about the second two. Though to be fair, I still had fun with the last two. They just weren't up to the original's par. Two. Just had to get one more in there…
If it were up to these guys the only people making films would be Del Toro and a bunch of French fags most people have never heard of. That being said, if they get rid of Chris Rock, Rene Russo & Pesci I'm all for a new Lethal Weapon.
Yes. Fuck yes. Bring me more WEAPON. But with Kamen gone, who shall compose the score? Clapton, Sanborn and _____ ?
I am #3 and I stand corrected. #7 Yes that is what happened I saw yet another derogatory statement about a movie that is far from being filmed and made an automatic assumption but that doesn't change the fact that I was wrong about who posted the story no one allegedly cares about. I stand by my comment but change the name from Devin to Russ.
I honestly think the site should change it's name to something more appropriate, like, say "PEOPLE WHO HATE MOVIES". Devin rarely, if ever, has anything positive to say about movie news, and most of the other writers for the site have followed suit. CHUD has easily become one of the most negative movie news sites on the web. The only time they ever seem to have anything positive to say is when they are reporting on gaming news, and, to be quite honest, I'd rather get my gaming news elsewhere.
If LW5 can end the series on a better note than LW4 did, I'd be up for another one.
I have a question. If so many of the posters hate the writers at CHUD, why even come here and waste your time expressing your disgust on story after story? I don't get it. Just don't visit CHUD anymore. Problem solved.
Get rid of the comments section. It brings out the worst in people.
We finally got comments back here, and all you do is bitch about the writers, which is what led to them being removed last time.
Gibson and Downey Jr. investigating the murder of Murtaugh with the help of his son in a film written and directed by Shane Black would be pretty cool.
As for Quarantine, get rid of those fucking ads.
