« I'm too old for this shit. » (Roger Murtaugh)[6.12 - French Time] Deadline's Mike Fleming reports that Warner Brothers and producer Joel Silver have hired ex-LA cop, novelist and scriptwriter Will Beall for a "reboot" the Lethal Weapon franchise with a new cast.
Initially the plan was to bring the original team back with original scribe Shane Black aboard but, as Mike Fleming explains, schedules didn't match up and "Mel Gibson's image has taken a self-inflicted beating".
Well this "reboot", "reinvention" or "reimagining", or whatever you call remakes these days, is a terrible idea. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover ARE Riggs and Murtaugh. Period.
