Sylvester Stallone is going to revisit his 90s action classic ‘Cliffhanger’ with a sequel directed by Ric Roman Waugh (‘Angel Has Fallen’). The new film will be written by script by Mark Bianculli (‘Hunters’).
The plot of the sequel is being kept under wraps other than Stallone will reprise his role of mountain climber and rescue ranger, Gabe Walker.
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. It’s going to be a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new heights, a responsibility I don’t take lightly.

Neal H. Moritz’s Original Film (‘The Fast and the Furious franchise’, will produce with production and sales outfit Rocket Science as well Stallone and Braden Aftergood’s Balboa Productions. The film will go on sale at Cannes.
I’ll never forget the thrill I felt watching Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger. I 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.

Casting for the film is currently underway.
