Sylvester Stallone will Not Write or Direct THE EXPENDABLES 2

The Expendables Part 2 will happen, if fact it's a priority for Millennium Films, but this time around it wont be written or directed by Sylvester Stallone. Stallone is currently meeting with possible directors to take over the project. A script has already been written for the films, and it's pretty much ready to go. It was written by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman who wrote the family film Curious George, and Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys.

Stallone will be returning to reprise his role in the film as Barney Ross, but there are no confirmation on who else from the first movie will come back. It starred a badass cast of actors that included including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Giselle Itie, Eric Roberts, David Zayas, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steve Austin.

Stallone co-wrote, directed and starred in the first film, which brought in $274.5 million in theaters worldwide last year. I'm not all broke up about Stallone not writing or directing the film. I enjoyed the first movie, but I'll be honest... it could have been written and directed by a 16 year old kid with a violent and explosive imagination.
