Lethal Weapon
When Danny Glover said “I’m too old for this shit!” Hollywood said “Well fvck you, we’ll remake it!” The original set of movies had the unlikely pairing of the suicidal zany Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and family orientated Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) dealing with America’s crime wave whilst being continually irritated by Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) and being demoted on a regular basis.
The remake is purely on the rumour mill at the moment, with the script still waiting to be completed, however Will Beall has been brought in as writer for the reboot. What will prove interesting is trying to set the remake aside from the many other buddy cop movies that Lethal Weapon went on to inspire, including the classic Cop And A Half starring Burt Reynolds!
