‘Lethal Weapon 5’ Will Be The Last One In The Series According To The Director
By George Robbins
This has been a long arduous year thus far and ain’t quite over just yet with just a couple of days remaining before it finally ends once and for all. Despite this fact, we still have the issue that most everything that has been plaguing us this year which is still plaguing us is going to follow us into the new year. There isn’t really anything that we can do about this mess, but we can try our best to prepare for it before the new year begins and everything immediately starts going down the drain. Many people, locations, and businesses are preparing because it doesn’t matter what year it is, events are just going to keep unfolding regardless of the date. This is why we are now reaching a point where many people are just hopeful that the number of the year changing will genuinely help us in the end after all.
Movie studios easily had one of the more interesting times of what exactly they were going to do when the pandemic first began because they didn’t know how to handle their productions being shut down. When the whole pandemic began, just like everything else out there in the world movie and TV productions all ended up being shut down in order to further prevent spread of the virus. It is due to this that they had to make their plans ahead of time of how they wanted to handle things once they were given the greenlight to resume whatever it was they were working on. In the end, they continued work as usually with the new set rules and regulations in place to keep working on their upcoming projects. Following the reopening of their productions, studios decided to speed things up even more instead of waiting things out any longer.
Even though there was already a massive pile-up of films being put on the backburner because of the lack of people going out to movie theaters, studios have still made it their goals to keep working on new films. The back-catalogs of new films they are producing is going to be so vast that they will not have to worry about having new films to show any time in the near future. This also sets them up to survive the post-pandemic market as well because there is no telling just what the market will end up looking like when everything is said and done. More than likely, they are bound to end up losing a lot of money on their upcoming releases over the course of the next couple of years, but it is not enough to keep them from making mile-long lists of new films they can show off when the time is right. Not only this, but they have been announcing new films left and right all year since the pandemic began in order to keep people interested in what is coming next.
One such film that people found out more about this past year is yet another entry in the ‘Lethal Weapon‘ series, aptly named ‘Lethal Weapon 5’ which is based on the original films. While many people were hopeful that this may be the return of their favorite buddy cop series, it really won’t be as it is being confirmed to be the last entry to the series which will end after its release. Featuring the return of the main stars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, this will be the last movie in the series as confirmed by director Richard Donner who directed and produced every other film in the series in the past. It may have been well over 20 years since the last film, but this hasn’t changed the overall level of excitement being felt for the film’s inevitable release. While it may still be awhile before we get to see the film, it is sure to completely punch fans in the gut knowing that it is going to be the last one ever made for that series. Despite this, people are undoubtedly excited for the movie to end up dropping and giving audiences everywhere one last look at the buddy cop combo they loved when they were younger.
