The Expendables was a great bit of cheesy action from last year. Stallone assembled a great cast and did a sterling job directing it.
For the sequel it appears that he will be leaving the directing to somebody else according to 24 Frames.
The follow-up movie is a priority at producer Millennium Films, where it’s being developed by Stallone, the creative force behind the original. But Stallone, who both starred in and directed the 2010 summer hit, isn’t, at the moment, planning on helming the new movie. Instead, he’s been meeting with directors to tackle the sequel, said a person who was briefed on the project but was not authorized to speak about it publicly.
The script for the new movie has been written by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman, the latter of whom counts the Clint Eastwood adventure “Space Cowboys” and family comedy “Curious George” among his credits, said the source. (Stallone co-wrote the script for the original with David Callaham.)
Depending on who they get having someone else direct the sequel could give a new dynamic to the sequel keeping it fresh and fun.
Who would you like to direct the sequel?
