		<description><![CDATA[In what is as cool a news story as you're going to find all week - Variety have the scoop that Mel Gibson is to re-team with Lethal Weapon screenwriter Shane Black for the spy thriller Cold Warrior.


The movie is Cold Warrior and will see Gibson play a spy from the cold war era who comes out of retirement to team with a younger agent to confront a domestic terrorism threat orchestrated by Russia.

The movie is Black's first directorial effort post-Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The only downer is it won't be based on his script, which is a damn shame. I'm a huge fan of Shane Black's writing, and I would encourage any young screenwriter to study his work, because the snappy dialogue, his character writing and the twists/turns in his works are remarkable.

His script for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a love letter to Raymond Chandler may be one of the smartest the film noir genre has ever produced but I have faith in his directing talents.

Chuck Mondry - who IMDB recognise but don't quite know why - has wrote the script which Universal hope to film in June.

Gibson's first lead role in YEARS opens tomorrow - the revenge thriller ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Smart-ass screenwriter (I say that in the most complimentary way possible because I love the guy and he's a genius for writing Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lethal Weapon and The Long Kiss Goodnight but man, his screenplays ooze with that big headed ego of knowing he is the smartest screenwriter on the planet) revealed over the weekend during a bowling session with AICN head honcho Harry Knowles that he is currently preparing to scribe a big, big, big movie.

A big, big, big movie for the producers of Star Trek and Transformers (Kurtzman and Orci).

He is writing...



Doc Savage!!!

A character who is one of the early inspirations for Indiana Jones and Wiki have a pretty detailed write up on him...
Doc Savage's real name was Clark Savage, Jr.. He was a physician, surgeon, scientist, adventurer, inventor, explorer, researcher, and, as revealed in The Devil Genghis, a musician. A team of scientists assembled by his father deliberately trained his mind and body to near-superhuman abilities almost from birth, giving him great strength and endurance, a photographic memory, a mastery of the martial arts, and vast knowledge of the sciences. Doc is also a master of disguise and an excellent imitator of voices. "He rights ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Donner, director of all four LETHAL WEAPON movies has told L.A. Times that Mel Gibson has passed on the fifth movie which producer Joel Silver has recently put into development at Warner Bros. after being extremely impressed by Shane Black's script.

Donner also believes the project is now dead, because no Gibson means no franchise.


"It's too bad, actually, because Channing Gibson, who wrote the fourth one, and Mike Riva, a designer on three of them, and myself and Derek [Hoffman, an associate at The Donner Company] had an incredibly strong story for the fifth movie. But we weren't given the opportunity and I think maybe I could have convinced Mel to do it. But Warners chose to go with Joel Silver."

"Yes, the project is pretty much dead in the water unless someone had the sense to come to me."
Seems like this was a pack of falling cards for Warner Bros. When they couldn't get Donner involved in some capacity then they probably lost Gibson, their star. No Gibson, means no movie.. with or without Danny Glover.

A real shame if you ask me because I was strangely interested in seeing more adventures of Riggs and Murtaugh, they aren't like some of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's on... Joel Silver is fast tracking LETHAL WEAPON at Warner Bros and has begun talking to potential actors for the first Shane Black scripted movie in the series since the original 1987 Richard Donner directed classic.

STOMP THE YARD lead Columbus Short has told IGN that he has spoken with Silver about the role of Murtaugh's son (Danny Glover's characters son) and mentions both Glover and Mel Gibson in his interview, as if both vets are already on board.



After a good amount of false starts, this new attempt to crack a LETHAL WEAPON return may just be happening and I've been all for it since Shane Black handed in his screenplay, I have complete faith in his ability to write the best possible movie for this franchise.

More so than ROCKY, RAMBO, DIE HARD... I say LETHAL WEAPON has the most chance of working today. It was never about how fit or strong you were, it was about being charismatic and funny, with a smart themed screenplay behind you. Neither Glover, Gibson, Black or hell, even Richard Donner are over the hill, they could all still do this.

		<description><![CDATA[COLD WARRIOR, a Universal Pictures spy thriller that will mark the LETHAL WEAPON screenwriter's much anticipated second directorial outing says Variety.


Based on a script by Chuck Mondry, pic revolves around a spy from the Cold War era who comes out of retirement to team with a younger agent from the new school to confront a domestic terrorism threat orchestrated by Russia.
KISS KISS BANG BANG was so much fun and did an awful lot for Robert Downey Jr. before the ZODIAC and IRON MAN roles came along, Black would be wise to try and cast him again right now.

This movie sounds really promising, almost LETHAL WEAPON-ish in the two lead dynamic but different in terms of setting and environment. We will be keeping a close eye on this one. ]]></description>
