Stallone To Write, Direct And Star In (With Jason Statham And Maybe Jet Li) THE EXPENDABLES!!

I am – Hercules!!

Sylvester Stallone is making for Nu Image a non-“Rocky,” non-“Rambo,” non-“Rhinestone” movie titled “The Expendables.”

Jason Stratham is aboard, Jet Li is in talks. Variety has the plot:

Pic follows a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator.

Stallone's last non-"Rocky," non-"Rambo" movie was 2003's "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over."

Nu Image is the outfit behind "Mansquito," "Octopus 2: River of Fear," "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon," the recent "Wicker Man" remake, Werner Herzog's "Bad Lieutenant" remake and 2008's "Rambo." It also hired Brett Ratner to direct its looming "Conan" movie.
