THE EXPENDABLES 3 Will Be Directed by Patrick Hughes

Sylvester Stallone has revealed that they've hired Patrick Hughes to direct The Expendables 3. I'm not familiar with the director at all, but he made a couple of shorts and a movie called Red Hill that I've never seen. Stallone posted the following, 

EX3 Needs freshness, class, and much badass, ....Found it... Blood Sweat and Fears, coming soon... My best PURE ACTION FILM - The last RAMBO - I want this one too top it and I believe it will with NEW BLOOD.

I guess he feels that Hughes in the man to turn his dreams for The Expendables 3 into a reality. There was a point where Stallone asked what everyone thought about Mel Gibson possibly directing the film, but it looks like that didn't take. 

In addition to Stallone, the last film starred Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Nan Yu, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It will be interesting to find out who they plan on bringing back.

We've also heard that Jackie Chan will most likely join in on the third adventure and that they were also in talks with stars such as Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, and Mickey Rourke. None of those names has been officially confirmed yet though. Stay tuned for new updates!
