Make up your mind already, Sly! Of course, I’d never say that to his face, because even though he’s almost forty years older than me he could still kick my ass.
Screen Rant is reporting that there’s a strong possibility that Sylvester Stallone will end up in the director’s chair for The Expendables 2 although he initially intended to pass on directing the film. As I previously reported, Stallone is facing similar directing issues on his next film, Headshot. I guess it’s safe to say that after directing himself in his last three films (Rocky Balboa, Rambo, and The Expendables), Stallone‘s not too keen on giving up calling the shots on his films.
The film’s script has been written by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman based on ideas from Stallone. Agosto is a newcomer, but Ken Kaufman has written a ridiculously varied list of films (In The Army Now, Muppets From Space, Space Cowboys, The Missing, and Curious George!) That’s not the resume of someone I expected to tackle Stallone‘s baby, but as long as it’s good I could care less who’s writing it!
It’s expected that most of the original cast — including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, and Bruce Willis — will be retuning for the sequel. Now that he has more free time, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger could likely play a larger role in the sequel, too. Rumors have suggested that Stallone wants everyone from Jean-Claude Van Damme to Chuck Norris to Charlie Sheen in the film, and frankly all I can say is the more the merrier!
The Expendables 2 is set for release in August 2012, so whoever ends up directing or starring in it better get ready to start shooting soon!
So are you in favor of Stallone directing The Expendables 2, or do you have someone else in mind? Let us know in your comments below!
