Millennium Films chief Avi Lerner has dropped a pretty big scoop to Bulgarian site the Standart. He reveals that he's currently with Meryl Streep, Cameron Diaz and Milla Jovovich to star in The ExpendaBelles -- the all-female Expendables spin-off, which is also said to have Katee Sackhoff and Gina Carano on board. Lerner is quoted as saying: "The action movie will be spectacular – and in nothing inferior to the three male movies of the "The Expendables." There will be battles, special and visual effects and stunts - the spectacle will be equivalent to what Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis and Jean Claude van Damme have done ... Two excellent screenwriters (Legally Blonde writers McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith) are already working on the picture. Now we are in search of a female director." He also says that that the story will take place in Brunei. What do you think? Quite a cast if it comes together.

Wow. If this is treated with the utmost of seriousness, it could be epic. Hopefully paving the way for Wonder Woman...

Meryl Street? I mean Cameron Diaz is passable, just about, but Streep? If this is really to be a female Expendables, they really should go for the obvious guys: Beckinsale; Jolie; Biel; Jovovich; Rothrock; Weaver, etc.
Yes to Jovovich. Hells yes.

I'm totally on board with Cate Beckinsale, Sigourney Weaver especially and Mila J. I COULD possibly buy Diaz, depends on if the character suited her or not.
As far as a director, if they are going all-woman for everything then I would suggest Mimi Leder. She's pretty dang good with action.
While we're at it let's throw in Hans Zimmer for music, because he's awesome-sauce and also because I'm not that familiar with female film composers yet.

Meryl Streep? Really? I have a hard time believing that, but maybe she wants to be in a fun action movie once in her life. Maybe, if it's true, they have her be in charge or something, and throw 1 action scene her way just for the hell of it.

Throws up in mouth. The male one is stupid. This one would be even more stupid. Why not get women who have actually been in action movies?

The reason Expendables as we all are aware started in the first place is because we all had male action heroes from different movies then someone thought to combine them all into one movie. Which of course took off & became a franchise. But I mean this idea is just STUPID!!! It's clearly just a case of feminists being feminists. I'm sure if they find a director we will hear a lot of "Woman's rights, woman's empowerment" crap, some b*****s may even go as far to say if men can have a movie like this, then why can't women... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Seriously, just have tough female action heroes in Expendables 3... No one said Expendables has to be males only! Dumb b*****s
