Sylvester Stallone Edits Expendables 4 Screenplay During Dinner

Published

on

Sylvester Stallone is in London to film The Expendables 4 and worked on the script while out to dinner. Stallone created The Expendables in 2010 as an action franchise that attempts to recapture the genre in its nostalgic heyday. The series has since had two sequels, which have gathered a variety of stars from the action genre, including Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Antonio Banderas, Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Mel Gibson and Jason Statham, amongst others.

The Expendables 4 is set to be directed by Scott Waugh (Need For Speed) and will once again star Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture from the original cast, with newcomers to the series being Andy Garcia, 50 Cent, Megan Fox and Tony Jaa. The first two films in the series saw strong box office earnings, but Expendables 3, which was the first to be rated PG-13 and brought in a batch of younger stars, did not fare as well. The script for the fourth film is by Spenser Cohen, with revisions by John Joseph Connolly and Max Adams, but it appears that Stallone is getting in on the action as well.

In a recent Instagram post, Sylvester Stallone shared a video recorded by a young woman (likely his daughter, who is also in London) that saw the action star seated at a posh London restaurant with a manuscript in hand. The actor is asked what he’s doing, to which he replies that he’s working on a scene with Jason Statham for The Expendables 4, that they’ll be shooting the next day and that they “gotta get it right.” Stallone’s dining companion reminds him that they’re “kinda in the middle of dinner” to which Stallone says that he’ll eat his words and she can eat some bread. It’s a funny exchange and it shows that Stallone isn’t one to take a break, even for dinner, when he’s shooting a film. Check out the video below:

It’s unclear if Expendables 4 is a sequel or spinoff, as it had been rumored that the next film in the series would focus on Statham’s character, Lee Christmas. That may well still be the case, but no one has made it clear one way or another. Since members of the original cast are returning, it seems the next film could just be business as usual. The trend of bringing in established big-name stars is in effect as well, with Garcia, Fox and Jaa joining the film. It’s likely that there will be more names announced as production kicks off and more details unfold.

Sylvester Stallone Edits Expendables 4 Screenplay During Dinner 3

Stallone is no stranger to being dedicated to his work when he’s in the midst of it, so his post isn’t surprising. The actor spent three days holed up at his apartment in the late 197os with his phone unplugged and windows painted black in order to block out distractions so that he could finish the script for a little boxing film called Rocky. Now, 45 years later, Stallone is still cranking on scripts; this time for another franchise he create. This time, however, the star is not quite as shut in as before, as he’s allowed himself to at least go out to dinner, while still staying in the zone. The Expendables 4 is expected to release sometime in 2022.
