The old rival to the Die Hard series may be keeping up the fight. Back in August, trackingb announced that writer Shane Black had produced a script for a potential fifth installment in the Lethal Weapon canon. Along with this news, it was also rumored that actor Columbus Short was up for a part in the film. Now, in an interview with Short, IGN is reporting that Lethal Weapon 5 is indeed being "fast-tracked" into production. You can catch the video here.
I've never been a big fan of the Lethal Weapon series, so I won't say much either way. But I will say that it's kind of depressing--as it has been through this entire decade--that much of the news in film in general involves sequels, remakes, adaptations, and even dedicatory pieces like Tarantino's Kill Bill and Grindhouse movies. This is something I've always advocated against, with little success, but such is the way of the world.
