LETHAL WEAPON 5 Is Being Fast Tracked??
Merrick here...
Back in August, trackingb.com broke the news that a LETHAL WEAPON 5 was being developed (more HERE).
I can't recall how it all started, but Columbus Short's name was almost immediately associated with the project, although details were sketchy and the nature of what role he'd take was uncertain.
During a sit-down with Short regarding his new film QUARANTINE, IGN pressed the actor for more information. He confirmed the project's existence, indicated it seemed to be on a fast track, and revealed what role he'd nab assuming LETHAL 5 moves forward.
Here's an embed with the details, which originates from THIS piece at IGN.
