Sylvester Stallone is set to reprise his role as Ranger Gabriel “Gabe” Walker in the reboot of 1993’s Cliffhanger.
While plot details have not been revealed, the forthcoming action thriller will be directed by Angel Has Fallen director Ric Roman Waugh from a script by Mark Bianculli (Hunters).
“Growing up with the biggest action films of the 80s and 90s, working on many of them myself, Cliffhanger was by far one of my favorite spectacles. To be at the helm of the next chapter, scaling the Italian Alps with the legend himself, Sylvester Stallone, is a dream come true,” Waugh said in a statement. “It’s going to be a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new heights, a responsibility I don’t take lightly.”
The 1993 original featured Stallone as former mountain climber Walker, who becomes entangled with a group of criminals that lost their $100 million stash in the Rocky Mountains.
Fast and Furious producer Neal H. Moritz’s Original Film will produce alongside Rocket Science and Stallone and Braden Aftergood’s Balboa Productions. Rocket Science is launching foreign sales during this month’s Cannes film market, with CAA Media Finance representing North American and Chinese rights.
On the horizon, Stallone appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Expendables 4. He currently stars in Paramount’s Tulsa King.
