Fits like a Glover. Husky-voiced
Hollywood Scotsman Mel Gibson has bought his ex-old
friend and former elderly co-star Danny Glover
out of the billion dollar Lethal Weapons franchise,
Idiotica hears through Sam Heffer’s tiny,
but perfect, ears.
The films are to be digitally
remastered later this year (starting with Lethal
Weapons II), deleting Glover’s scenes and
re-shooting them with Gibson filling both pairs
of scuffed sneakers.
Gibson - who always thought
the film would have been better without Glover
anyway - now plans to reduce all of Glover’s
trademark “I’m too old for this shit”
catch lines, to the shorter, simpler phrase “I’m
shit.”
The extra minutes will be used
for bonus sex scenes between Gibson's own character
and Patsy Kensit, who has come out of retirement
especially for another glimpse of Gibson’s
impressive Riggs.
Mel-odrama
Self-aggrandising beardy grumpface
Russell Crowe has finally accepted the part of
Mel Gibson in a biopic of the Mad Max star’s
“much less serious” career, to be directed
by fellow Austrian Paul "Hulk" Hogan
later this year.
Crowe recently won an Oscar
for his portrayal of Ron Howard in A Beautiful
Head.
O brother who art
thou?
Meanwhile here in London’s
west end, “Clooney Tunes”, a
musical about the life and works of George Clooney
will be opening in mid-Summer, with Martin Clunes
currently not shaving in the hopes of landing
on the lead role. |
