It was rather overrated but met with good will and a fair dose of nostalgia upon its release but The Expendables failed to impress this writer. Stallone talked up a sequel even before the original was released and now it looks like the material is “expendable”. He won’t be writing or directing a second outing for the 1980s old timers after all.
24 Frames are reporting Stallone has passed on writing and directing the sequel and is currently planning to meet directors to talk about them taking over the production.

Currently pegged to bash out a script (in crayon, probably) are David Agosto and Ken Kaufman, writers of such classics as Space Cowboys.

The combined resumes of the cast of Red is staggeringly impressive, and having Bruce Willis lead a crew not particularly known for lighter fare drives the feel and flavor of a film that might easily have had no ability to find footing.

Frank Moses (Willis) is getting on in years, at least from a spy game perspective if no other, and the best he’s managed in the normal life department is a relationship over the phone with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), who he calls repeatedly at work just for the chance to chat. When a Black Ops squad shows up at his door, he’s suddenly...
