From cinemablend, We may be getting another Lethal Weapon. I guess if Harrison can still make his way through an Indiana Jones movie, anything is possible, even the extremely aged adventures of Murtaugh and Riggs. I can see the tagline already: “Now they’re both too old for this shit!”

The guys at CS got the scoop from a password protected site called TrackingB. They claim that Shane Black, the guy who wrote the original Lethal Weapon movie and who most recently wrote and directed the highly underrated noir flick Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, has a spec script which he’s trying to get super-producer Joel Silver to use in continuing the Lethal Weapon franchise. The story for this 5th outing involves Riggs about to retire, but yanking Murtaugh out of his already well underway retirement to solve one last case before they both start wearing their pants up past their navels.

What’s more, word is that both Glover and Gibson are ready and willing to return (though not signed to anything) as Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs respectively. Glover I can see, but I really expected Mel Gibson to be much too busy directing and apologizing for hating Jews. Shocking. The Lethal Weapon team hasn’t been together in more than a decade. The last Lethal Weapon film happened in 1998 and had Jet Li as a seriously kickass bad guy.
