A remake of The Dirty Dozen? I wonder if it will be set in WWII or this is some sort of update?

Didn't he already do that with Suicide Squad?

I don't know I did not see that film.

So, I looked him up and I have seen one film he (wrote and) directed, Fury, and three others that he wrote, Training Day, Dark Blue, and U-571.

I enjoyed all of those and based on the fact he did Fury maybe he would keep the WWII setting.

I think the link I have in the first page of posts in this thread has been updated. It now lists 121 remakes/reboots in the works.

So, I see there is discussion of a Lethal Weapon 5 employing the elderly Gibson and Glover combo. Didn't they begin this series of films with the line "I'm getting too old for this shit."

Well, I assume, they really are way too old for this shit.

They could stage a walker vs. wheelchair chase through a nursing home I guess.

Also, Eddie Murphy is eyeing a return to being a Beverly Hills Cop. Perhaps he could arrest Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock. This looks like a real banana in the tailpipe event.

Murphy’s action life ended with Metro and Showtime. It's going to be hard for audiences to re-embrace him as action super star again...

Beverly Hills Cop 4 (announced)
Axel Foley

It's all about the script and they need to get as much of the original cast back

I smell a huge hit Gibson will pull it off

I suppose. Could be an exciting tale of Riggs getting Murtaugh to the store to get a tube of denture cream as they race to the senior center BBQ where they are serving corn on the cob because it is Wednesday.

I can think of a real bad quote of Mel's that goes along with that picture. One that is so bad that it is never going to be forgotten by a studio/corporation.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

I'm thinking Mel would be more suited at this point to be cast as Mr. French in the Family Affair remake.

It's going to be their version of MST3K. They will sit in front of a screen watching the previous Lethal Weapon movies and riff on them, with a quota of one "getting too old for this shit" crack every five minutes.

I can't tell if Mel Gibson's The Wild Bunch remake is happening or not. I believe he claims to have a script for it but it looks like he is doing two other sequels before he gets to it. A sequel to The Passion of the Christ (I think we all likely know how that one turns out) and a Lethal Weapon sequel which he will act in and direct I guess.

Seems it would be a while before he would get to The Wild Bunch, which I am sort of hoping he does not.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

Wow, so I guess everything really is going to get remade. It seems they are already shooting the remake of Road House, yes the one with Patrick Swayze, and Jake Gyllenhaal steps into the Swayze role.



I mean the first picture did not seem to be a good idea but making it again, that's just going to do serious damage to the world's cheese supply.

It seems like there's two routes to remake Road House- they either go the 21 Jump Street way and embrace the ridiculousness of the original and make the movie a comedy or they drop the corny 80's crap and try to make a more serious action movie. With Limen and Gyllenhaal, I'd think they're going to try to do a serious action movie.
