Back when the first Expendables movie came out, I wished for an all-female version, called The Necessaries. Well, it’s on, sort of:
Just as “The Expendables 2” explodes into theaters, Adi Shankar’s banner 1984 Private Defense Contractors has tapped Dutch Southern to write an all-female riff on the star-studded action franchise.
Shankar (“The Grey”) will produce for 1984 Private Defense Contractors, which plans to fully finance the “Expendables”-inspired project. Company is already in talks with several prominent actresses affiliated with the action genre.
Given how correct my predictions about Nolan’s third Batman film were, I’m starting to think I should extend my foresight consulting services to film producers. (So if any of you are reading, please do use the contact form above.)
