HOLLYWOOD -- Richard Donner has a few lethal ideas to help revive some of his most successful films.
Donner, who directed all four of the Lethal Weapon movies, feels there's still life in the franchise that has netted more than a billion dollars worldwide.
"I have the story in my head for a fifth and final Lethal Weapon, but it's all up to Mel Gibson," says Donner, who directed Paul Walker in the time travel adventure Timeline that opens Nov. 26.
"It would be 24 hours in the lives of Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover). The last couple of times I talked to Mel, it really seemed he was interested in doing one more.
"I really want to put the franchise to bed properly."
In 1985, two years before he scored with Lethal Weapon, Donner directed the family adventure movie The Goonies.
Donner says Steven Spielberg, who wrote and produced Goonies, "definitely wants to do a sequel.
"Our idea is to bring back some of the original Goonies, including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and Corey Feldman, and team them up with some new young actors."
What do you guys think of this?? I personally liked most of the Lethal Weapon movies. And I loved The Goonies! LOL!! When I was a kid, I would always watch The Goonies. I think it would be interesting to see him attempt these. What are your thoughts??
