If you haven’t said the line “I’m getting too old for this s*it*, you haven’t lived or you haven’t seen one of the best cop duos in movie cinema. “Lethal Weapon” first premiered in 1987, and since then 3 sequels have been made, who has featured everyone from the likes of Chris Rock, Jet Li and Joe Pesci. With everyone reliving the 80’s/90’s, writers seems to think its time to bring back everyone’s favorite cops.
via Deadline:
A Lethal Weapon hourlong series based on the films that starred Mel Gibson and Danny Glover has landed at Fox with a put pilot commitment. It will be written by former Chuck executive producer Matt Miller.
Like the Rush Hour series, Lethal Weapon is a relatively straight remake featuring the movies’ central characters, Roger Murtaugh, who was played by Glover, and Martin Riggs, who was played by Gibson.
On the Lethal Weapon show, when Texas cop and former Navy SEAL Martin Riggs moves to Los Angeles to start anew after the loss of his wife and baby. There, he gets partnered with LAPD Detective Roger Murtaugh, who, having recently suffered a “minor” heart attack, must avoid any stress in his life.
I’m sure Danny Glover and Mel Gibson won’t have too much to do with this series, but it will definitely be good to see them make appearances; especially to hear the infamous line.
If the pilot goes through, will you be tuning in to “Lethal Weapon”?
