Ambitious plans for a female-led spin-off of the Expendables franchise never got off the ground, but why?
The Big Picture The Expendables 4 is preparing to hit theaters and bring this action movie franchise back to the big screen after nearly a decade of hibernation. Such news will make Lionsgate and Millennium Films investors around the world shriek with glee while the rest of the moviegoing populace puzzles over why on Earth this is coming back now. If the project does cross anyone’s mind, they're likely to wonder if Hollywood really can’t think of a better way to utilize Megan Fox than this.
Who Was Going To Be in 'The ExpendaBelles’? Two months after The Expendables 2 solidified that the Expendables franchise had appeal beyond just one movie, Millennium Films announced that it was time to expand this saga into spin-off franchises. Now the plan was to launch ExpendaBelles, a feature that would be written by the duo behind the script for Legally Blonde, Karen McCullah Lutz, and Kirsten Smith.
In February 2014, The ExpendaBelles got its director in the form of Robert Luketic, who previously worked with Smith and McCullah by directing the original Legally Blonde. Luketic had minimal experience with action movies but he was experienced with helming movies starring and aimed at women, like Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! and Monster-in-Law. With this news, it was also revealed that casting was about to begin and that shooting would start in the summer of 2014.
