Filmmattic writes: A host of online news publications reported today (including my go-to site Slashfilm) that the collective brainchild of director Richard Donner and writer Shane Black, Lethal Weapon, will be...prepare to gasp....rebooted. If your tastes for film are remotely similar to mine, then the audacity of Warner Bros. to reboot a classically unique— in my opinion, iconic film franchise—is laughably appalling.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.

Reamking/rebooting Lethal Weapon is a garbage idea UNLESS, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are in the next movie and I don't mean to "pass the torch".
I don't know, I think this could be interesting to see a fresh take on the idea. While I love the first movies, I can't say bringing Glover and Gibson back would be the best idea. I'm not sold on it, but I think I'm willing to give this one a shot.
I think if Gibson wants to make a comeback as bad as he says, this is where its at. They should bring him back and put money back into his name. Why? Simply because Lethal Weapon would get the money too and then you have an actor with namebrand again. Then again i believe its WB so they dont really need money to begin with.
