Sylvester Stallone has been set to reprise his role as Gabe Walker in the Cliffhanger reboot.
Rocket Science announced on Monday the Cliffhanger star would appear in the 1993 filmโs reboot as his original character Gabe Walker.
Ric Roman Waugh had signed on to direct the remake, with a script from Mark Bianculli.
โGrowing up with the biggest action films of the โ80s and โ90s, working on many of them myself, Cliffhanger was by far one of my favourite spectacles,โ Ric shared of the upcoming film. โTo be at the helm of the next chapter, scaling the Italian Alps with the legend himself, Sylvester Stallone, is a dream come true. Itโs going to be a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new heights, a responsibility I donโt take lightly.โ
Neal H Moritzโs Original Film banner, Braden Aftergoodโs Balboa Productions, and Rocket Science have been set to produce, alongside Sylvester himself.
โIโll never forget the thrill I felt watching Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger,โ Neal added in his own statement. โI am incredibly excited to be working with him and Ric Waugh to continue the story of Gabe Walker and introduce this iconic story to a new generation of filmgoers around the world.โ
Rocket Science has been set to launch sales for Cliffhangerโs reboot at Cannes later this month. No further casting details and no production schedule has been announced.
The original Cliffhanger followed a mountain ranger โhaunted by a failed rescue attemptโ, who returned to the mountains attempting to help plane crash survivors, according to a logline. The ranger learns that the supposed survivors are โcrooksโ using him to find the โlootโ scattered near the wrecked plane. (FilmNews)
