now Mels officially back in HW...Lethal 5?


Prior to Mels ..'troubles'..Shane Black was developing LW5 to be set in a blizzard in NYC (presumably to be directed by Donner).. but now he's back (he's bad your black I'm mad!) I wonder if Blacks Lethal 5 could be relit?

-Shane Black is a big director now so if he wanted go back to it he could write and direct after Predator 4 (Donner abit too old to be directing a big action movie now, and it'd be more fresh/interesting having Black directing anyway)

-ok theres the remake TV show but that didn't stop Arnold Terminator movies after the TV show (and same for 'official' Superman and Batman movies while Smallville/Gotham were happening)

-Mel followed his Braveheart Oscar success with Lethal 4. Maybe he'll do the same after Hacksaw

-he could do with a guaranteed hit to put him back on the acting map to follow breaking back into directing (Blood Father got favourable reviews but wasn't a big hit)

-all of Mel's action peers have returned to their iconic roles in belated 20 years on sequels..(plus he's only 60 so he's actually younger than most of those guys). he can't do Mad Max now but he could do LW

-theres been 5 Die Hards. It dosnt seem right theres only 4 LWs!
