"Yeah! No absolutely. And the man who was behind all that - the man who brought it to the screen and gave it the goodies is working on it right now: Richard Donner. He's a legend."

 

[Cunth]

Now I’m definitely too old for this shit

 

[Boss Mog]

Now they're really too old for this shit.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

I'm too old f... Oh.

 

[Breakage]

The films after the second one were rubbish. Too much comedy in 3 and 4

 

[Aesius]

You know Hollywood is fresh out of ideas when Mel Gibson gets unblacklisted to make a 4th sequel to a franchise that hasn't been relevant in 30 years.

 

[Calcium]

Always Sunny already made this sequel, didn't they? We're good, thanks Mel.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Absolutely no one:

 

[joedan]

I'll take it.

 

[BlackM1st]

Too old. Do not want.

It's just sad man, it's just sad...

 

[Nymphae]

Yes please, it'll pale in comparison to the first two but I don't care. I like seeing Riggs and Murtaugh.

 

[Husky]

huh... thought Richard Donner was dead. Well that's neat.
So we're expecting a feature-length adaptation of this?

 

[Birdo]

I saw Richard Donner in that Goonies Reunion and he could hardly speak. He's 90 years old....

[Stouffers]

I want another another 48 Hours.

 

[DESTROYA]

I want another another 48 Hours.

96 Ηours ?

 

[Stouffers]

96 Ηours ?

You’re that sad kid with no friends on the playground with a misshaped head and an unhealthy obsession with Godzilla.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

[DESTROYA]

What exactly is your point ? Are you turned on by misshaped heads ?

 

[Arkam]

On one hand, most remakes or waay late sequel of the last decade has been crap, on the other, some of the crap Mel has put out the last decade has been unexpectedly entertaining. I mean Blood Father and Get the Gringo should be terrible... but they just work with Mel.

So I will be (as always) cautiously skeptical until I see proof the other way. But I can imagine a film that is good and 'gracefully' self aware of its absurdity of being made and how time have changed. But I can also imagine a film that was produced at the Play Doh factory.

It's probably going to be about the two babies from Lethal 4 grown up as cops.

 

[NeoGiffer]

Spoiler

 

[lifa-cobex]

It was bad enough watching Han Solo run about looking like he was about to break his ankle.
Picard looked like he couldn't move more than a brisk pace.
T-800 looks like he has to take a mid afternoon nap.

Don't get me wrong. These old stars have aged like a fine wine.
But I hate seeing them be reanimated and forced to run about for the sake of member berries.

[Space Runaway]

Nah that's ok, you can keep it.

 

[Stouffers]

Maybe they’ll use the Irishman deaging tech

 

[Stouffers]

I haven’t seen Rene Russo in decades

 

[Sign]

Let’s go!

[AlteredForms]

Both of those bastards got old. Won't be fun watching 2 has-beens pursuing a suspect on foot.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Did Mel say he was starring in it?

 

[RNG]

ngl I enjoyed all the Lethal Weapons but I’ll believe it when they actually start filming.

 

[Rival]

Q

 

[Skyfox]

They should use deepfake tech for this. (Neural network ai trained on the old films).

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

Is Shane Black writing it?

 

[hariseldon]

They should use deepfake tech for this. (Neural network ai trained on the old films).

They should not. You can fake the appearance, but they'll still move like old men. It's been tried already, it doesn't work.

 

[Skyfox]

Get someone else to do the moving too

 

[hariseldon]

Get someone else to do the moving too

Why not just get different actors at that point? In fact, why not tell a new story at that point?

 

[Nymphae]

You guys are retarded. Mel is going to be on point, and Murtaugh will finally actually be too old for this but thrown into the action anyway. This series was never Rambo, and Mel isn't too old for it yet imo.

 

[Gp1]

Okay okay okay....

 

[Fbh]

Maaaaybe if they can get Shane Black this could be decent. As Nice Guys was pretty fun and in a similar style.

But then...times being what they are there's also like a 80% chance it's some crappy movie about them being retired and passing the torch to a new duo of female detectives, one of which is Melissa Mccarthy.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Gibson is the face of that franchise and they’re paying him a ton of money to return

 

[Hulk_Smash]

huh... thought Richard Donner was dead. Well that's neat.

Holy shit there’s blackface in this here episode!

 

[LarknThe4th]

Its Mel so I will watch it, might be good

 

[GeorgPrime]

- Bad Boys 3 with Smith and Martin Lawrence
- Ghostbusters 3
- Lethal Weapon 5 with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover
- Indiana Jones 5 with Harrison Ford
- Gremlins
[Insert More Movies from the past that are coming back into cinemas]

....

 

[IDKFA]

No.

I'd rather Mel Gibson direct his historical Viking film Berserker
