Eclectic Pictures and Hollywood Ventures Group unveiled the news at the Cannes Film Festival as part of a new features slate of \u201cglobally commercial films.\u201d
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy \tChris Gardner<\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t
\tEclectic Pictures and Hollywood Ventures Group<\/a> are teaming on a “female-driven expansion” of The Expendables<\/a><\/em> franchise, tentatively titled Expendabelles<\/a><\/em>.
\tSound familiar? It is. Ever since the first Expendables<\/em> hit theaters in 2010 and went on to gross north of $100 million — effectively launching a Sylvester Stallone-led franchise that has now produced a total of four movies — a handful of filmmakers have tried to crack a version starring women in the lead roles.
\tBack in 2014, Legally Blonde helmer Robert Luketic was set to direct a version penned by that film’s scribes, Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah, for Millennium Films that was to center on female operatives who had to pose as call girls to rescue a nuclear scientist being held hostage, a plot that surely would be eviscerated online today. \t<\/p>\n
