So when The Expendables 2 finally gets off the ground, things could look a little different. The only confirmed actor to return at this point is Randy Couture(urrghh!!), and now the LA Times is reporting that Stallone won't be writing the script nor will he be behind the camera. Instead he'll be handing the writing chores over to David Agosto and Ken Kaufman(Space Cowboys
The Expendables to me all boiled down to the last 20 minutes, which was all the explosions and violence and bad jokes we expected the entire film to be. Maybe it's best that Stallone take a step back, because he always appeared too satisfied with just pulling all those actors together in the first place. He was too comfortable just throwing a camera in front of himself surrounded by all his oiled up buddies and expecting we'd just drool over how cool it was. Not so much. The Expendables doesn't need much of a plot to hook people, but it needs enough to propel the action and so the movie makes sense.
