Frenchie and Pug to Star in ‘Lethal Weapon’ Reboot

When Joel Silver and Richard Donner announced their intentions to film another Lethal Weapon movie at Cannes last May, everyone assumed Mel Gibson and Danny Glover would reprise their roles. However, Gibson reportedly still has no interest in the long-rumored sequel. 

So what are Silver and Donner up to?

According to a report on Deadline.com, the project isn’t a sequel, but a full franchise reboot. 

“With Gibson not interested, Warner Bros. has put Lethal Weapon 5 on ice,” said the site. “Instead Donner has penned a reboot of the series and sources tell Deadline that two dogs have been cast to star in the new film.”

The Fluffington Post has learned that the two leading roles have indeed been given to a pug and a french bulldog that are relative unknowns in the industry.

Filming is expected to begin in January and the movie has a planned release of holiday 2014.

Area Puppy’s Stall at Farmer’s Market Is a Success

A local dog named Hazel found success this week at the farmer’s market when she set up a stall to sell handmade treats.

“Mostly braided chewtoys made from recycled t-shirts and a few home baked doggie biscuits,” said Marjorie Wacha, who serves as chief administrator of the market. 

According to Wacha, Hazel was a big hit and sold out of her chewtoys in the first hour.

“With the holidays coming up, I really hope she decides to sell at our winter market, which moves indoors next week,” she said.

French Bulldog Stows Away to Tailgating Party

The only thing Nalla the French Bulldog loves as much as football is food, which is why tailgating has been on her bucket list since she was a puppy. But unfortunately, she was never invited to tag along on game day.

That’s why last weekend, the Tulsa, OK native stowed away in an extra cooler and wound up in Norman, OK, scarfing down a few bratwursts before watching her Sooners defeat Texas Tech.

“She had the best time ever,” said friend Randy Kephard. “At first I was a little upset that she snuck into my cooler, but she was able to pack another six pack in there, so all was forgiven.”

According to Kephard, Nalla is his new good luck charm and he plans to bring the dog to every remaining home game this season.
