As Hollywood's war on originality rages on, word comes that Shane Black has allegedly turned in a script — or possibly a treatment — for Lethal Weapon 5. The pitch: "Homicidal Riggs (Mel Gibson) is about to retire, but pulls Murtaugh (Danny Glover) out of retirement to solve one final case, before they both officially head off into the sun." Only if that line were literal — and the movie ended with Riggs and Murtaugh in a spaceship, yelling at each other while burning up at 10 million degrees — would we want to see this movie.
