Announced earlier this week, the follow up to Sly Stallone's action epic, The Expendables, has nabbed a director. Simon West, director of Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Mechanic, will be directing the sequel which will presumably carry the same cast as the first. Stallone won't be writing the sequel, instead Lionsgate have hired David Agosto and Ken Kaufman, whose previous credits include Space Cowboys.
Are you excited for The Expendables 2? While the original was fairly hit or miss, I really think with the right script and right energy, it could be pretty kick-ass.
