I wrote a 62-page treatment with my friend Chuck for “Lethal Weapon 5” that would’ve been, I think, a very good movie.
Fuck that, if they’re gonna be in the movie, they’re gonna be in the movie — I don’t care how old they are.
That plot description proves (yet again) why Black is one of the smartest, most consistently talented screenwriters and directors working today.
While making the press rounds for that film, Black has been talking up some of his other projects, past and present, including his idea for another Lethal Weapon sequel that he never got to make.
