Way back in February 2014, we reported that directorRobert Luketichad come aboard to direct an all-femaleExpendables spinoffentitledExpendaBelles, but that was the last we had heard about the project. That report revealed thatThe ExpendablesstarSylvester Stallonewill produce this action-thriller alongsideKevin King Templeton, but it seems that isn’t the case anymore.Sylvester Stallonerecently clarified that he has no involvement whatsoever in this project.
The actor reportedly reached out toDeadlineto clear up “erroneous reports” that he is involved with the project, telling the site that he isn’t participating in the film in any way. While we haven’t reported on this project sinceRobert Luketictook over as director,Sylvester Stallone’sThe Expendablesco-starRandy Couturerecently teased in an interview with New York Daily News that thisExpendaBellesmovie may move forward ahead ofThe Expendables 4. Here’s whatRandy Couturehad to say about thisfemale spinoffofThe Expendablesfranchise.
I am hearingExpendabellestalks have been going on for the past two years. I heard they had a script they were adapting for ‘(The Expendables) 4’ and that we were going to start shooting for ‘4’ in the fall. Now I’m hearing it might be pushed back and ‘The Expendabelles’ might be back on the docket."
The ExpendaBellesfollows an elite group of highly trainedfemale mercenariesbrought together for a covert hostage rescue mission. Once they are behind enemy lines, the women discover that they will also need to topple an evil dictator bent on world domination. It becomes clear there there is no such thing as the right man for the job. The Expendabelles is the ultimate story of female empowerment and kick-ass teamwork.
A report from October 2013 teased thatMeryl Streep,Cameron DiazandMilla Jovovichwill lead the cast, but whenRobert Luketicboarded the project in 2014, it was revealed that no cast members had signed on quite yet. We don’t even know for sure ifRobert Luketicis still attached to the project, since he came aboard two years ago and we haven’t heard anything about it until now. We’ll be sure to keep you posted with more onExpendaBellesandSylvester Stallone’s future projects as soon as we have more information.
