Legendary filmmaker Richard Donner has died at the age of 91, according to his wife and producer Lauren Shuler Donner. This is incredibly sad news, as Donner inspired many through his versatile filmography and set the stage for a number of filmmakers who came after him. Donner’s career as a director began to take off with the 1976 horror film The Omen, but it’s a … Continue reading Legendary Filmmaker Richard Donner Passes Away!!
Even at 90, Richard Donner is not too old for this sh*t! At least when it comes to teaming up with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, who will return to star in one final Lethal Weapon film. Donner revealed as much in an interview with The Telegraph, and confirmed that he will indeed direct Riggs and Murtaugh’s final outing. “This is the final one,” Donner … Continue reading ‘Lethal Weapon 5’: Richard Donner Confirms He Will Direct!!!
The streaming wars were always going to heat up this year, but they’ve taken on a new angle as everyone is stuck inside and companies see a prime opportunity to lock down a captive audience.

It had been on the cards since Damon Wayans announced his plans to exit the series, but now it is official, with Fox cancelling its TV adaptation of Lethal Weapon after three seasons.

Some ten months after his firing from Fox’s Lethal Weapon, actor Clayne Crawford is set for a return to the small screen with an appearance in Blumhouse and Hulu’s anthology horror series Into the Dark. The series premiered back in October and consists of twelve episodes, each released monthly over the period of a year and inspired by various holidays from their respective months. As … Continue reading ‘Into the Dark’: Clayne Crawford Returning to TV!!
Because the drama never stops with Lethal Weapon, star Damon Wayans is now apparently planning to leave. In case you had forgotten (or missed it the first time around), the Fox series was embroiled in drama earlier this year between Wayans and now former co-star Clayne Crawford. As we wrote at the time, Crawford was let go from the Fox series “after allegations of behind-the-scenes drama and bad … Continue reading ‘Lethal Weapon’: Damon Wayans Announces Exit from the Fox Series!!!

Unfortunate news for Lethal Weapon fans and fans of Clayne Crawford in particular. The actor has reportedly been let go from the Fox series after allegations of behind-the-scenes drama and bad behavior, which was supposedly putting the series at risk of cancellation.

However TV Line is … Continue reading ‘Lethal Weapon’: Clayne Crawford To Be Replaced If Series Is Renewed!!!
Bad Boys 3 (officially titled Bad Boys for Life) has been in development hell for a long time. There was a stretch when Joe Carnahan (The Grey) was set to direct, but he eventually dropped out of the project. Now Deadline reports that Sony is in talks with directing duo Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah to helm the sequel, which will bring back Will … Continue reading ‘Bad Boys for Life’ Lands New Directors; Eyes August Start Date!!
I’ve never been interested in watching the Lethal Weapon TV series, but the concept makes sense. The film franchise had run out of gas, there hadn’t been a new entry since 1998, and the IP still had value as a buddy-cop comedy. It’s not like anyone would be crazy enough to get Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and director Richard Donner back for a Lethal Weapon … Continue reading ‘Lethal Weapon 5’ Has Interest from Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Richard Donner!!!
So while Bad Boys III might never happen, there is talk circulating this morning about a potential TV spinoff for the action franchise. According to Deadline, the untitled project is currently being shopped to networks, and would focus on Bad Boys II star Gabrielle Union‘s character.

She’s also the sister … Continue reading ‘Bad Boys’ Could Get a Spinoff TV Series Starring Gabrielle Union!!!
I loved Shane Black’s The Nice Guys, but it wasn’t a hit at the box office. It only grossed $62 million worldwide off a budget of $50 million, so even though it would be great to see a follow-up film following Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) and Holland March (Ryan Gosling) with Black returning to write and direct, that’s not going to happen. However, producer Joel … Continue reading ‘The Nice Guys’ Getting Rebooted as TV Series ‘The Nice Girls’; Shane Black Not Involved!!!

What’s old is new again, and so on and so forth when it comes to TV in recent years. If it hasn’t been rebooted yet, it’s in talks to be, and that includes some series in our very recent history. There are other properties that have had attempted reboots, but it hasn’t quite worked out before — and that brings us to The Munsters, which first aired … Continue reading A ‘Munsters’ Reboot from Seth Meyers, Jill Kargman Is in Development at NBC!!!
