Sylvester Stallone will reprise his iconic role as Search-and-Rescue mountain climber Gabe Walker from 1993’s “Cliffhanger” in an upcoming sequel to be helmed by Ric Roman Waugh (“Angel Has Fallen,” “Greenland”).
The original Renny Harlin-directed film was of the biggest hits of Stallone’s career, raking in $255 million at the box-office and rejuvenating his career after several comedy flops.
Neal H. Moritz’s Original Film will produce alongside Stallone and Braden Aftergood’s Balboa Productions. Waugh says in a statement:
Stallone is currently in “Tulsa King” and has roles in both “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” this week and “The Expendables 4” this fall.
