‘Lethal Weapon’ Reboot Could Star Chris Hemsworth

LETHAL WEAPON is an iconic 1980s classic, but rumours of a reboot conjure a mixed reaction from fans. The latest gossip is that Chris Hemsworth has been offered the lead role with Justin Lin to direct the project.

Hemsworth has not officially signed on to join the project, but his film resume suggests he is a worthy candidate for the action franchise. It’s said to focus on the desires of an older cop’s son (presumably Riggs’) and his wishes to join the police force. The plot suggests that this one might try to form links to the original, and so this would leave the door open for original stars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover to reprise their roles and/or make a cameo appearance.

Shane Black, who wrote the original script for LETHAL WEAPON, is said to be involved in the writing for the new project with writer Will Beall (GANGSTER SQUAD). It appears that there is an effort to pay homage to the original franchise.

While plans for the reboot are far from being set in concrete the latest news is sure to have fans talking. We’ll bring you any news – as we hear it!
