Mel Gibson Shoots Down ‘Lethal Weapon 5′

In a recent interview with the LA Times, Richard Donner claims that Mel Gibson’s rejection of Lethal Weapon 5 is probably because he (Donner) isn’t attached as director. 

Here are a few of Donner’s quotes:

“Mel turned it down,” Donner said. “I would like to think that Mel turned it down because I wasn’t involved. Knowing Mel, I would like to think that. Would that be the kind of thing he does? It sure would be.”

“It’s too bad, actually, because Channing Gibson, who wrote the fourth one, and Mike Riva, a designer on three of them, and myself and Derek [Hoffman, an associate at The Donner Company] had an incredibly strong story for the fifth movie. But we weren’t given the opportunity and I think maybe I could have convinced Mel to do it. But Warners chose to go with Joel Silver.”

“Yes, the project is pretty much dead in the water unless someone had the sense to come to me.”

The project is still in the works, so there is a good chance the film will be made anyway, perhaps with some fresh faces? We’ll have to wait and see.
