Richard Donner 1930-2021

From Wikipedia:
In November 2017, Mel Gibson hinted that a fifth movie might happen and that he, Richard Donner, and Danny Glover have discussed the idea to return. In December 2017, Donner confirmed in an interview on the Spocklight podcast that Gibson and Glover have agreed to return as Riggs and Murtaugh respectively and that he has a story all set. The only obstacle is Warner Bros. greenlighting the film. Channing Gibson remains involved as screenwriter. The story will take place in present day and is intended to be the final film in the series. In February 2018, Donner revealed the film's official title to be Lethal Finale; while also stating that the film is being held up by the production company and story. In January 2020, producer Dan Lin confirmed that Lethal Weapon 5 is in active development, with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover confirmed to return, and Richard Donner returning to direct, but that a script had not yet been finalized. In December 2020, Richard Donner confirmed that he is developing the sequel and will produce and direct it, adding that it will be the last film he directs. However, Donner died on July 5, 2021, leaving the fate of the film unknown.

And yes of course, he directed all four Lethal Weapon movies from 1987 to 1998, the first two are among my favorites, the first one from 1987 being my favorite one. He did other films too.
