Exclusive Flight Risk behind-the-scenes photos

JoBlo Exclusive: a bunch of photos give a behind-the-scenes look at the Mel Gibson-directed thriller Flight Risk starring Mark Wahlberg

While we wait to see if Warner Bros. will give or not Lethal weapon franchise star Mel Gibson the chance to direct Lethal Weapon 5Lionsgate is preparing to give the Gibson-directed action thriller Flight risk a theatrical release on January 24th – and with that date just around the corner, we’ve got our hands on a round EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes photos that you can see at the bottom of this article. Lionsgate has also revealed a featurette, and you can watch that in the embed above.

Screenplay by Jared Rosenberg, Flight risk has the following synopsis: In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg (Actor in a Supporting Role, 2006 – The Deceased) plays a pilot who transports an air marshal (Michelle Dockery) and accompanies a fugitive (Topher Grace) to the trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions rise and trust is tested as not everyone on board is what they seem.

Gibson produced the film alongside John Davis, John Fox and Bruce Davey, with Alex Lebovici, Jenny Hinkey, Ryan D. Smith, Natasha Stassen, Allen Cheney, Christopher Woodrow, K. Blaine Johnston, Christian Mercuri, Petr Jákl, Vicki Christianson, Nick Guerra, Russell Hollander, Jon Huddle, Patrick Josten, Walter Josten and Jordan Wagner serve as executive producers. The film comes from Lionsgate in collaboration with Media Capital Technologies / Hammerstone Studios. It is an Icon production and a Davis Entertainment Company production.

This seems like a good time to me, so I’ll definitely take the first opportunity to watch it. Here’s hope Flight risk will be received well enough for Gibson to get the green light to make Lethal Weapon 5. He has said, “I will be directing the fifth film in Lethal weapon series. You know, Richard Donner, who did the other four, sadly passed away. He was a good friend and he sort of charged me to carry the flag home on it. It will be an honor for me to do so. He (Richard Donner) had gotten into the script well, so we used what was there and we kept poking at it and working on it a little bit. I’m pretty happy about it, it’s good, I had a lot of fun doing it.“
