Assuming the idea does get off the ground, how they going to make do without Mary Ellen Trainor around? Also hope they're thinking of using the same soundtrack, otherwise it's going to be DOA for sure.

It sounds like a pretty scaled back "personal" story is what they have in mind. Probably something a little depressing. Like, I don't expect even Pesci to be in it, probably not even Chris Rock.

Escape from the retirement home to take out one more bad guy, mayhaps?

There aren't enough low speed chases in movies. Just once I'd like the heroes to have to take their meds uh'cuz they got the diabeetus.

It won't be the same without the mullet.

He didn't even have that in 4.

Please no.
LW4 was a perfect hopeful ending for the series. No need to ruin it with another pessimistic and dour story.

No, 4 ended the story well.

Let it be and move on to new franchises.

Yeah it really was..... Sort of a happy "family" ending for the old guys and the movie itself was pretty good too. Now I want to watch it again - it's been years. Years as in "original DVD era".

Still hubbub about it. From last month:

Mel Gibson is only 64? That surprised me I thought he was 70 already. He looks double his age.

He was a raging alcoholic for some time, this **** makes people old. Trust me, I've seen this crap happening in real life.

I just watched "The Professor and the Madman" on Netflix. Was really surprised at how quickly I fell into it. It was really good and touched on content that I thought was really interesting..... Gibson was pretty good in it.

He is an amazing actor. It is sad, that wealth and fame got to his head and ****ed him up.

I'm getting too old for this sh*t;)

Richard Donner confirms he will direct it and all is well:

Oh no.
Don't make it SJW infested grimdark trash.

Xav 01-03-2021 07:10 PM

Always Sunny already did it.

Lethal Weapon 4 ended the series perfectly with a really upbeat and optimistic ending (the two families were together taking pictures with all their kids), and I can't shake the feeling they would go with a downer ending here with one of the two main characters dying. Plus I doubt they can get Joe Pesci back at this point and it wouldn't be the same without him either.

Also 2020 era Mel Gibson is not 1980-1990's Mel Gibson, so the appeal of the actor is pretty much gone now.
