Sylvester Stallone has teamed up with Nu Image/Millennium films with a deal to write, star in and direct their latest action movie offering, “The Expendables” about a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator.
Stallone will also be weighing in on this film with two other heavy hitting action stars as Jason Statham co-stars and Jet Li is in final negotiations to join the action film.
Filming on The Expendables starts in February 2009 in Costa Rica and Louisiana with a late 2009 release date tentatively set for the movie.
