We’ve seen oldies doing sequels to their old-fashioned action films. Well, okay, that was Bruce Willis (Die Hard 4.0) and Sylvester Stallone (Rambo). Rumors have been circulating that Mel Gibson could also join the bandwagon when last week, Joel Silver mentioned that a fifth installment is on the works. But apparently, those are just rumors. Richard Donner, the director of the first two adventures denied these claims.
It seems like Mel, turned the offer down. Sequels usually generate groans from moviegoers, however, a Lethal Weapon 5 installment has been pretty positive. It’s just too bad its main actor isn’t that interested in it. I’m also pretty sure getting another actor would totally kill the film since Gibson has been the face and selling point of the whole Lethal franchise.
