EMBATTLED Hollywood drunk Mel Gibson is believed to be in discussions to join a revival of the Lethal Weapon film franchise to win back some of his fan base – if he can stay out of jail. Met by public outrage last week over his anti-Semitic outburst when he was arrested for drink driving in LA, the 50-year-old star has seen his schedule suddenly clear up. Industry insiders suggest he is set to jump on board for Lethal Weapon 5 – which would be the final instalment of the police franchise he starred in alongside Danny Glover. "It wouldn’t hurt on the PR front to give fans another Lethal Weapon," one insider said. Gibson has previously knocked back strapping on the holster for another movie in the series, including a whopping $40 million offer in 2004. But it is understood he is now considering signing up in light of his rant.

This movie has been rumored for a while, but not sure if that movie can do well because so much time has passed. That and it has anti-semite in it and the director is Jewish.
