The Expendables 2 heads West for new director

The Expendables was just too much fun for those involved the first time round for a second to not happen. But when Slyvester Stallone said he would only be in front of camera this time round it raised the dilemma, who would? According to sources Simon West, thats who.

Last time out, West brought us the remake of The Mechanic starring Jason Statham. However, he is probably still best known for Con Air.

No plot details have been revealed yet, but it we are honest, that did not really effect the first film. What we know is that there will be a team of big, 'ard, merc's including Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Cews, Mickey Rourke and Jet Li.

What we know is Stallone will have a hand in scripting once again, with bullets, explosions an old timer's from action films from a bygone era.

Filming is scheduled for the summer.
