Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Tyler Bates [Notable Works: Get Carter, Rambo, Doomsday]: He's a fantastic Composer, and honestly he's one of the legends of composing. He's done some great work and He was really the only one I felt could bring back the jazzy score that made the original Lethal Weapon really stand out. If you doubt that take a listen to his score from the Stallone Remake of "Get Carter" that would certainly open you up to the idea.
Screenplay: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.
Alex Garland [Notable Works: Dredd, Sunshine, 28 Days Later]: Dredd is without a doubt as close to a perfect film on an Independent budget you can make. His script is very solid, all 3 acts a well done, action is well placed, story is perfect and with that It's definitely interesting to want to see what he would do with the Lethal Weapon dynamic. He's a great writer and would be perfect to pen Lethal Weapon.
Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.
Ruben Fleisher [Notable Works: Zombieland, Gangster Squad, 30 Minutes or Less]: There's no doubt with Gangster Squad he found a voice that would be perfect for a Lethal Weapon. He's a smart director and can really get into his character's head and really show that imagery on screen.

He would absolutely be fantastic playing a character like Murtaugh he would really bring that character back. He's all around what I believe to be the perfect choice to take the role from Glover.
Detective Martin Riggs [Height: 5' 10", Age: Late 20's-Early 30's]: Upon being reassigned to the homicide Division he is partnered up with aging sergeant Roger Murtaugh. Riggs' partnership with Murtaugh proves to be valuable in Riggs' recovery, not only from alcohol, but his repression and depression from his wife's death. He becomes a close friend to both Sergeant Murtaugh and his family.
Joel Kinnaman [Height: 6' 2", Age: 34, Notable Works: The Killing, Robocop, Easy Money]: This was kinda hard to cast Riggs, it came down to either Tom Hardy or Joel Kinnaman and I really thought about it and I felt Joel was a perfect choice. He plays a perfect cop, he's got an edge to him that would really make him shine in the role. He's definitely got the look I want to see brought with the character having been on leave for grief and lost in his sense of purpose. I think it would take him some time to get to the point of cautious return Riggs is at but I know Joel could do it.
Trisha Murtaugh [Height: N/A, Age: Late 40's]: Wife to Roger Murtaugh and mother to their three children. She later becomes a novelist known as Ebony Clarke.

Kevin Spacey [Height: 5' 10", Age: 54/55, Notable Works: Se7en, Usual Suspects, Horrible Bosses]: Who doesn't love Kevin Spacey? He's an amazing actor and would do a wonderful choice to play Captain. He'd definitely have some fun on this role.

Vincent D'Onofrio [Height: 6' 4", Age: 54/55, Notable Works: Full Metal Jacket, The Cell, Chained]: Vincent is a great actor and was originally my choice for McAllister but I felt he would be a great choice for Hunsacker and do an amazing job.

He would absolutely be a character that Tahmoh would be perfect for. This is a strong actor dependent role. He's a great character that would be well translated by Tahmoh.
