Come on who would not like to see another 'Leathal Weapon'

movie?

Well it seems that Max Landis would, has he even has a 

pitch for a fifth outing of our favourite cop duo Murtaugh

and Riggs. 

Chronicle writer Max Landis, may be a new talent in 

Hollywood, but he has been around the industry his entire 

life. As you can guess by the name he is the son of John 

Landis, the director of Animal House, Blues Brother, and 

Micheal Jackson's music video 'Thriller'.  

Max Landis was speaking to Grantland, while promoting 

'American Ultra' which he wrote, and the conversation turned

to 'Lethal Weapon', which prompted Landis to give a quick 

''pocket pitch'' for what he would do for 'Leathal Weapon 5' 

which he would make the final movie in the series. 

“The final Lethal Weapon, if I have to pocket-pitch it right now, is Murtaugh and Riggs are asked to work with a group of, like, four cops who are younger, who were all involved in an action movie that we didn’t see. You hear the report, and it sounds like a Lethal Weapon movie: ‘They drove a school bus off of an oil rig?’ Then Murtaugh and Riggs are assigned to take them on like an Outward Bound program and try to teach them to be better cops and respect authority. Then it turns out the villain from the action movies that we missed is coming to kill them. Murtaugh and Riggs in the woods for the first time in any of the movies, with four characters we really like, do a slasher movie.”
