Originally, actor/director Sylvester Stallone announced that he wasn't directing the sequel to last year's The Expendables, which is due for an August 2012 release. However, a more recent report said that he WAS directing, but now it seems that we have confirmation that he won't direct it after all. From Movieweb.com:

Back in March, a report surfaced that Sylvester Stallone would be stepping down as director of The Expendables 2. Then, earlier this month, a new story revealed that he would actually come back to direct, since his new acting project Headshot had lost director Wayne Kramer. It was believed that Sylvester Stallone was returning to direct The Expendables 2 because Headshot was going into limbo. However, Walter Hill is now directing Headshot, and the project is once again moving forward with Sylvester Stallone and Thomas Jane attached to star.

The Expendables 2 is currently scheduled for release in August 2012.
