Mel Gibson will not make another 'Lethal Weapon' film.
Richard Donner - who directed the first four films in the franchise - says the chances of making a fifth movie are "dead in the water" after the actor turned down the chance to reprise his role as Sergeant Martin Riggs.
He told the Los Angeles times newspaper: "Mel turned it down. I would like to think that Mel turned it down because I wasn't involved. Knowing Mel, I would like to think that. Would that be the kind of thing he does? It sure would be.
Richard also blasted producer Joel Silver for not asking him to return as director, saying: "Joel Silver tried to ace me out of it. He tried to put it together but made sure he didn't do it until my contract was up. You know, it's typical of the man. A guy who wasn't even around at the beginning when we started on the first one. He came in late.
"The project is pretty much dead in the water unless someone had the sense to come to me."
'Lethal Weapon 4' was released in 1998, 11 years after the original movie.
