Hell yes.  In Cold Warrior, his second project as a director, Lethal Weapon/Last Boy Scout writer Shane Black is set to reteam with Mel Gibson.

Black, directing his second movie after 2005′s “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” is tackling a tale in which a Cold War spy (Gibson) comes out of retirement to confront a domestic terrorism threat from Russia by joining with a younger agent. Charles Mondry wrote the script.  The dealmaking is in the early stages, but it does further Gibson’s plan to get back in front of the cameras. [THR]

I love it, a buddy cop flick, only this time (*record scratch*), Mel plays the veteran.  I just hope they get someone really hip for the younger agent.  Someone like Zac Efron.  Yes, I can see it now… (*dream sequence music*)…

GIBSON: Listen up, kid.  I been in da spy business a long time.  A long time. Since before you was even a tadpole in your daddy’s ball bag. And I can tell you one thing I learned: the Jews caused all the wars.  All of ‘em.  Now move over, pip squeak, I’m drivin’.

EFRON:  Well gee whiz, Agent Riggs, everyone knows that!  Heck, I even wrote a song about it!   (*Efron breaks into the High School Musical number “Why We Don’t Let Jews Play Basketball”*)
