Retired

Screenwriter Shane Black indicated that despite his work on Lethal Weapon 5, it's unlikely the film will ever happen.

Moviehole talked with a source who said "that one is as good as dead. It won't happen. Which is a pity" and added that Black's screenplay was "fabulous. A much better send off than [Lethal Weapon 4]."



The fatal turn was likely the quote from series director Richard Donner who said last Fall that star "Mel [Gibson] 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."

A shame with Black back and all the buzz about said screenplay--Donner calling action...this could have been fun.
