Mel Gibson to star in the fifth version of Lethal Weapon

Director Richard Donner reportedly has a worthwhile script for a fifth version of Lethal Weapon, which may prove helpful in convincing Mel Gibson to star in it. "It's up to Mel. If he says yes then there's another Lethal Weapon. I have a great story, I would love to do it," he was quoted as saying.
Donner expressed his belief that the script may prove helpful in convincing Mel to do the film. "It was hard for Mel to do Lethal Weapon 4. For the fifth series, it would have to be a story that would be worthwhile, but I think maybe there is something out there," he said. Donner's statement comes just days after reports claimed that Warner Brothers were in the early stages of trying to relaunch the popular action series.
