Lionsgate has settled on August 17, 2012 for the release date for The Expendables 2. There are no other films currently slated for that date, but there are a few high-profile projects scheduled around the same period. Here’s how August 2012 currently looks:
- August 3, 2012 — “The Bourne Legacy”
- August 3, 2012 — “Total Recall”
- August 10, 2012 — “G.I. Joe 2”

As previously reported, Sylvester Stallone will return to star in the sequel, but he won’t be directing. Also, unlike the first film, which he co-wrote with David Callaham, the sequel’s script has been written by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman.
